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?

You can toggle off the "Visual Signal" setting inside the assistive touch menu on the Watch app on the phone, while leaving assistive touch on. That will leave the assistive touch functionality active, but disable the irritating blue halo (I hated it too!).
