Backlight issues after updating to WatchOS 26.1

Apple Watch series 9 after updating to WatchOS 26.1 is facing backlight issues. Is anyone facing this problem? Looks like the ambient light sensor is not working correctly. It gets very dim during daytime outside and gets very bright indoors.

Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 26
