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.

Apple Watch Series 8
That is normal:
watch flashes green after reaching fitness goal
When you close a ring in the Fitness app, an animation appears to celebrate the accomplishment.
If you do not wish to see this, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. Tap on My Watch (at the bottom) > Activity and toggle Goal Completions off. This should stop that from appearing.
More information on how the Activity app handles notifications is available here: Use the Activity app on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
I’m having this issue on an Apple Watch Ultra.
Suddenly the issue disappeared. The last couple times the animation was without the green flickering light. No update or repair.
Wow! Horrible "Feature". I thought my watch was broken.
Hope Apple removes this terrible new feature at the next update.
I’ve noticed mine hasn’t been doing that the last week.
Have they done anything? Repair/replace?
Mine started doing that, then stopped for a week or so, and today it happened again..
series 7 (couple months old) iOS 9
Same here. Also, this happens more often when I plug my watch to charge. It was like that from the day I bought my watch 8. Watch 3 was definitely more stable than watch 8.
Mine was doing this regularly, an Ultra. But it now hasn't done it for a couple of days.. maybe there was an update or something.
I too am having this issue with all goal completion animations. Apple Watch series 8 gps (the larger one)
Exactly the same with my Ultra. Just started yesterday. Updated software to 9.2 today so we'll see if it helps🤷♂️
Whew thought it was something I did to the watch it’s annoying but at least we know it’s happening across the board
I am having the same issue with my Apple Watch Series 6, OS 9.1. It was worse until I renewed my Applecare+ since my initial warranty expired this month. It's still there but not as bad. I thought it was a hardware issue until I started reading this thread and saw many people having the same issue. Hopefully it is software and it will be fixed soon.
I wonder if it has something to do with the Applecare+ renewal message that is in the watch app on the iPhone.
To see your AppleCare+ status, open the Watch app on the iPhone, and navigate to General->About->AppleCare+.
