Orange dot - how to remove it

Hello MrColon,

Thanks for your post to Apple Support Communities. We see you've posted a picture of your Apple Watch and are asking about an "orange dot". It's a bit blurry from the photo, but we'll do our best to identify what that could be.

Here's a great article for reference: Status icons and symbols on Apple Watch

It is similar enough to the Low Power Mode symbol. To disable or check Low Power Mode, do the following:

1. Touch and hold the bottom of your Apple Watch screen. Wait for Control Center to show, then swipe up.
2. Tap the battery percentage button.
3. Turn off Low Power Mode.

If that doesn't seem to be the reason, sometimes you can tap on the symbol to open the app or setting it is indicating. Reply back with additional details or a clearer picture if you still aren't able to identify it.

Best regards.

Good evening MrColon,

An orange dot or square indicates the microphone is being used on the iPhone which is paired to your Apple Watch.  What happens when you tap or drag down from the orange dot on your Apple Watch?  What apps are open on your Apple Watch when you see this?

Take care.
