Moto 360 and the ambient light sensor

One of the features we've been waiting to try on Android Wear is turned off by default

Much has been said about the ambient light sensor on the Moto 360 leading up to its release. For one, it's part of the reason for the black bar at the bottom of the Moto 360's display. (Whether that bothers you is another discussion for another time.) And an ambient light sensor is one of those things many of thought was missing from the first few Android Wear releases.

After all, our phones can adjust their own brightness depending on the lighting conditions. Why not these watches? After all, it's all about saving on battery life, right? And displays are one of the biggest power draws on any mobile device.

Here's the thing, though: The ambient light sensor is turned off by default on the Moto 360, and there's a good reason for that.
