Apple watch series 5 always on display flickering.


Shown below is a video of my apple watch series 5's display flickering when on always on. I wondered if anyone has the same issue and can help me.


Symptoms:

-Only occurs (from what I can tell) when on always on (wrist down).

-Only visible on more 'busy' watch faces like the one shown below.

Diagnosises tried:

-Restart

-Reset to backup 8.1

-Reset to backup 7.3.3


Verdict:

-Apple watch display is faulty as ive ruled out software, but I'm still not sure. Maybe it's normal?
