I have a burn-in issue with my apple watch. I contacted apple support and they set up a mail in repair for me, I sent the watch in and get the watch sent back unfixed. I talk to one of their manager and they said that it get sent back because the watch pased all the color test from Apple. How can a burn-in that easy to see by eyes can not detect at Apple? What should I do?
Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 7
Here's what I advise for any iOS device with screen burn-in, “image persistance” issues,
Charge the device to 100%. Un-pair the Watch from your iPhone. Fully power down the watch.
DO NOT use or turn on for 3-4 days to let the screen pixels have enough time to “de-energise”.
If you turn on the watch prematurely and screen burn-in, “image persistance”, is still noticeable, you will only have to do this entire full procedure for another 3-4 days.
If this works, the screen burn-in “image persistance” should NOT return for some time.
This has happened with all of my iOS device at one time or another and with iPhones and iPads, I had to go the full straight 4 days to get rid of the screen burn-in.
It usually comes back anywhere between 9 months to two years, or so.
Best of Luck to You!
