Apple Watch 6 screen flicker when raise to wake.

Hi all


My Apple Watch 6 screen flickers when I raise to wake the watch. This issue only happened after update to Watch OS 7.4. And latest 7.4.1 update still does not fix the problem.


Most of my friend's watches are also showing the same problem


Has anyone managed to find a solution?


Thanks


Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 7

Thanks


I’ve gone to Apple today and they did a diagnostic on my watch. Everything was working as it should be. Logical conclusion is there is a bug in the Watch OS software. Was advised to wait tor the next update

Hi iFiNi,


We see you're having an issue with your Watch display. Are you using the "Always On" feature or do you have that disabled? Does changing this setting alter your results at all? Have you tried restarting to see if the issue continues? What about unpairing the watch and pairing it to your phone again?


We look forward to hearing back from you.


Take care.

I use infograph and I use only stock complications:


  • timer
  • fitness
  • rain forecast
  • weather forecast
  • battery level
  • calendar


I too had the impression it was due to a custom complication, but since I use only stock complications, it seems less likely to be the reason.


I also observed that a reboot solves the problem for 1-2 hours in my case. Obviously not a fix I would want to live with for a longer period of time.
