Apple Watch 6 - blue border around watch face

A blue border appears on the face of my watch. I originally thought it was a notification but it appears even after there are none. It appears on all my watch faces.


I have updated the software, restarted the watch, and rest to factory settings.


How do I remove it?

This can be switched off as shown below.

Go to Watch App (on iPhone) > Settings > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > Hand Gestures > Activation Gesture > Visual Signal

The blue border can be turned off by toggling this Visual Signal to off
