Apple Watch shows white bar over date after watchOS 10 update

Hello,


Since the latest watchOS update, the date field on the siri watch face gets blocked out with this white rectangle. Sometimes it goes away when I lift the watch but usually stays until the movement is more significant.

If it's a privicy feature I can't see the reason why the date should be hidden. The white bar looks awful. Maybe just make it blurred out?


Regards,


Paulo

From what I can tell this seems to be an issue with complications when AOD is turned on but the Show Complication Data setting is turned off. This used to make the complication ie date, current temperature disappear when the wrist is not raised up. The temporary fix I found is to turn the show complication setting to on which means the data is always displayed. Must be a bug somewhere in the OS 10 update as it was fine up until I did the update.

My watch does not show the white bar (so far in my tests), so it is probably a problem in your settings and maybe a corruption in the watch face. I suggest you could try either or both of:

* Go into the (iPhone) Watch app and change the top right Complication, then change it back to Today's Date. That should reload the complication and clear any software glitches.

* In the Watch app make a completely new Siri watch face, load to your Apple Watch and test to see if the behavior is different. (This should be a stronger version of the first test above)
