My watch is black and white after updating, what do I do?

After I updated my Apple Watch, the display is black and white. I have turned off and on - went into settings and can’t resolve. Any suggestions?

Make sure greyscale and color filters are not selected:

Settings > Accessibility > Color Filters


If not… Restart the Watch, and try again:

Restart Apple Watch - Apple Support


If not… Un-pair and re-pair, and try again:

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Failing (all) that, contact Apple.
