Blue Box on Apple Watch Won’t Go Away

After updating to WatchOS 8, I turned on the new AssistiveTouch feature to give it a try. With this feature, a blue box appears to show what you’ve selected. I got tired of it & turned AssistiveTouch off & all Accessibly features but the blue box won’t go away. With this, my Apple Watch also announces everything but I don’t have this feature turned on. How do I get it to stop & the blue box to go away?

Others who have reported your problem, indicate that restarting the watch returns the display to "normal."

Did you restart your Watch after turning off Assistive Touch?
