Apple Watch flashing colors

about a week ago (coincidentally when my warranty ended) my battery for my watch (4 edition) cut its life from around 18 hours to 4. Then today after charging the screen went haywire and started flashing green, white and yellow and now won’t respond? Anyone else run into this problem?


thanks

“Battery life” is the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged. “Battery lifespan” is the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced. Maximize both and you’ll get the most out of your Apple devices, no matter which ones you own. See the "Tips for Apple Watch" section in:

I’m having almost the exact same issue with my series 4 watch. Mine started doing this as I was driving a couple weeks ago. I have no clue what happened to it. The repair estimate from Apple was around $350. This wouldn’t be so upsetting if I thought I caused the damage, but that isn’t the case. In the photo I attached, the watch is flashing many different colors, not solid like the picture shows
