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

Been having this problem for months and apple even replaced my watch but still getting the same problem! Contacted them again and they suggested that It could be an app causing it?!? I have video’d it using slow mo to show what my watch is doing. This is frustrating and would have expected apple to be able to fix this.

I have just spoken to apple and they want me to send my watch for a diagnostic as they did before. So as before Im thinking they are just going to send a replacement which isn’t going to solve the problem. Apple need to get on too of this.


I have noticed the girlfriends watch does the same but it doesn’t bother her. It must be a wider problem and just a lot of people are not that bothered.


Im the same of the thinking that these are expensive and the whole thing cheapens the watch.

So I haven’t had a chance to see if the flickering is gone on mine yet as the third replacement watch I received (after waiting over two weeks for it) had physical damage on it so I sent it straight back and now they are telling me they can’t find a fault with it they are sending it back to me. Feeling robbed as the original watch I sent them 4 months ago was immaculate now i am going to stuck with this even though being told when i sent it back there should not been a mark on it.
