Apple Watch screen flashing green

I have the newest Apple Watch SE, bought it not even a month ago. Today, when I closed all the 3 rings, the screen started to flash in green. It is very obviously an error (it's not pleasing to watch, definitely not an apple design). I've heard more people have been experiencing this, but did anyone actually manage to fix it? Or would you recommend to bring it to an Apple Store for someone to take a look?

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

Your bets option may be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them look at it:
