I Have had an apple watch 6 for just over three months now seemed perfect but today I noticed this black stipe across the watch face. It's only visible when the watch is on always-on mode as some as you lift up to view the watch it changes to the normal display and the stripe disappears
Can anyone shed any light on the subject what should I do etc
Hello Graeme,
It sounds as though you’re seeing a line across display when the display is always on, but not in apps or when using raise to wake. Apple Support Communities is a great place for help, and with the description you provided it doesn’t sound like a hardware issue. If you haven’t already try restarting your Apple Watch. You can find the steps for restarting in the following article.
