Both should have the same ghostly image if they're using the same watch face. The ghostly shadow is far less pronounced depending on the watch face such as just the hands in Simple face. Brighter colors such as yellow bleed through more easily.
Got a tip for us?

in the watch app on your phone check the following.
settings -> general -> accessibility -> reduce transparency
settings -> general -> accessibility -> reduce transparency
Yes, check to see if reduce transparency was set to ON on one AW but not the other. However, I don't know why that'd be if you in fact activated it without even knowing what it was for.
No, it did not work. My iPhone Reduce transparency is ON, the image on my 38mm is still there.
You need to change the Watch settings via the Watch app on your phone, as there are separate 'Reduce Transparency' options for both devices.
Just so we're all clear on this --
The setting for "Reduce Transparency" is in the Apple Watch app on the iPhone. Go to the app, then My Watch -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Transparency.
I set my watch face to this photo for now:
With the setting set to "Off", you get this:
Set it to "On"…
… and you get this:
Got it?

I must turn OFF the watch labels without knowing it.

You are RIGHT. I just try it, I turned OFF the labels on the watch and check the ghostly image again, they are also not there, so it does not matter the labels on the watch ON or OFF. Thanks.

Nobody said anything about turning labels on or off so I'm not sure why you're messing with it in the first place. In any case, the Settings app on the AW itself only has access to a limited number of available settings. You must turn transparency on or off using the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
Did you even read this thread? The problem the OP thought he had isn't screen burn. Rather, he had transparency enabled on one of his AWs.
Seriously. I feel like my IQ just dropped a few points. Before you know it I'll be voting for Trump.
so we learned nothing about this post and an image being burned in lol
but hey Apple Watch OS3 beta 2 updated today./

Except maybe the fact you can turn off transparency. I didn't think anyone would turn it off but I guess some do.
This supposed "burn-in effect" is merely a feature of the Apple Watch. It can be clearly be disabled in accessibility options and the remove of the "burn-in effect" will be gone. It's just creating a transparent effect, it personally doesn't bother me. Once again it can be found in the accessibility options, it's something to do with visibility or something to that nature.
