Electro-static charge or magnetism can interfere with proper auto light operation. If this happens, try lowering your arm and then angle it towards your face again.
When moving the watch you may note a slight rattling sound. This is due to operation of the auto light switch, which determines the current orientation of the watch. It does not indicate malfunction.
