My Apple Watch brand new series eight, flashes green screen when I meet my move goal. The usually red circle and vibration is accompanied by flashing green screen. Does not seem right.

I'm having the same issue, and it is not the normal animation as the other poster suggested.
The entire screen flickers green while the animation is running. It's never done it before, and I suspect it's a bug in the latest WatchOS 9 update. If so, hopefully will get fixed in a patch.
I have the same issue. Got my AW8 2 1/2 months ago. Today, I had the flickering for the first time. Weird that it happens so randomly and out of the blue. Updated to Watch OS 9.2 now and hope it remains a one time issue!
Also, another issue is that the data shown on the activity badge are often terribly off. 😜 They better get that thing fixed…
Same thing here. First it was a black screen with an animation. Now it flashes green and black in an in random way, irregular and also the same animation. As it broken or on error.
so NOT normal.
Mine is doing this too. I went to Geek Squad and they said all of the diagnostic came back normal. It started on Saturday, 10/8.
Mine started doing this yesterday and it happened again today. Doesn't seem normal. If it is - it's a terrible new feature.
My watch just started doing this too. I treat it very well. Hoping this is just some kind of software issue, because there’s no way I damaged this watch already.
I started having this issue since lunch. It seems like a new issue. I hope they fix it soon.

Mine too, hopefully an update comes soon.
This happens for my watch alot right now when i meet a goal. Looks terrible. My watch is brand new :/
Same issue here when the goal is reached it will flash green, looks awfull. Hopefully apple can solve this quickly.
on Apple Watch 7 series
I had the same issue, but restarting the watch has (temporarily, at least) fixed it. It's worth giving that a try.
Same here and if I had a seizure, it would be because of this odd flashing...
This is definitely not a feature. It is a bug.
I just had the exact same experience once I achieved my move goal.
Green background that flashes.
