Sudden Yellow Screen After Taking off Apple Watch Series 8

[srknpower]

I have a Series 8 on WatchOS 9.2. Always on is active. Sometimes, when i take off my watch to charge or something else, suddenly a yellow screen appears and then it disappears.

Have you ever seen this problem?

Edit: It is like a flashing screen.

Images?

It happens suddenly and not every time. I couldn’t get a chance to take the photos unfortunately

If you can demonstrate this at the Apple Store, they will give you a new watch. Images might be enough for them but for sure if you could have it happen in the store.

Sounds like a hardware problem.

I was able to take a photo. It was like a flashing screen, but this time it appeared white.

I am having exactly the same issue as in the link above. Isn’t there anyone having the same problem?

Same here, sometimes when I take series 8 off the screen blinks green very rapidly one time.

Same here with an Apple Watch Ultra.
No other problems.

The issue persists despite WatchOS 9.3.1.

I can’t really see this is an issue. The screen just happens to flash when turning off. Can’t see Apple doing anything to stop this.

I contacted Apple Turkey and they reached a high-level Apple Watch engineering unit with my data logs I collected by installing a profile to my Watch. Apple couldn’t find if it is software or hardware related but they replaced my device with a swap unit. Now the replacement unit is doing the same thing I hope it is software related.

My series 8 flashes (usually yellow) every now and then when the Sleep mode is activated and the screen turns off. It doesn't do it every time, but quite often. Never thought that it would indicate any problem...
