I turned on Assistive Touch, and now a blue rectangle comes up periodically. How do I turn this off, but keep assistive touch on?

See the 'Navigate your Apple Watch with hand gestures' section in:

Use AssistiveTouch on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

":When you raise your wrist, a blue ring around your Apple Watch screen indicates that AssistiveTouch is turned on and ready for you to activate it with the default double-clench gesture. You can change the color of this visual signal in Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Color. Or you can turn the visual signal off by going to Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Hand Gestures > Activation Gesture."
