Cloudy screen on Apple Watch 8 cellular 45mm

Hi, does any body have a cloudy screen of his/her apple watch 8 like the one seen on the photos I attached to this question? I see this only when there is not much light around me as well as when it is totaly dark. The setting "Reduce transparency" is activated (it happens also when this setting is deactivated). And by the way, I had another apple watch 8, which I exchanged with the current one. That one had the same problem (the cloudy screen) but it was on the right-and-top side instead of left side. What causes this cöoudy screen about? This can't be normal because it males the screen not nice and clear. And non of apple's previous whates has it as far as I experienced. Is this a hardware/sensor problem?

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 9

Hey there PomoziBoze,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, does the bright spot on your Apple Watch display remain even after restarting your Apple Watch? If unsure, give that a try with the steps shown here: Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

While restarting may seem like a simple step, it can often help with resolving some unexpected issues.


If still seeing the bright spot in the display after the steps above, it is possible that the issue may be hardware related. If that's the case, we would recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly from the following resource as they may be able to provide some available service options for your region: Get Support - Apple


Take care.
