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

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

Even I am facing the same problem of screen flickering after the latest update. I had updated my watch to the latest update of 7.5 after which my watch has started flickering when I raise my arm. I had been to the Apple store where they checked my watch and said that they couldn't find any hardware issue. Apart from this, my watch's battery get drained quickly even though my watch is not connected to bluetooth the whole day. I have rebooted as well as paired and unpaired my watch but the problem still persists. Please advise on the same

I too am having this problem since the 7.4 update and the recent updates have not fixed it.


I little disappointed here that Apple have neither acknowledged the problem or that they are working on a fix.; but I guess this is typical of large organisations like this.


Come on Apple, please sort this issue; it's not a major issue but it's not slick and not what I expect of a quality product.
