Apple watch series 8 yellow screen glitch when taking off from wrist.

Yellow screen appears for very small time when always on display is on and the watch has been in that passive display mode for some time (the one that it shows when you are not interacting with watch) and then you remove the watch.

This is very annoying. Is this a hardware or a software issue? Also, what is Apple doing about it?

Apple Watch Series 9 Screen Flicker Glitch Hi there, My new Apple Watch Series 9 on Watch OS 10.0.2 has a sporadic screen glitch / flicker. This happens specifically on complications when turning my arm around to turn on the always on display. I’ve seen the glitch / flash on top of the mail complication specifically. The whole screen did flicker one time when I had a text message open and the screen was turning back on when I put my arm up to view the screen. This happens maybe 10 times a day and it’s so hard to replicate on demand but when it does happen it’s disheartening. Perhaps related but I am also the victim of the weather complications not working on my watch - I’ve tried all of the hacks. They work but then the weather goes away again and have to try the hacks again (reset location services, toggle clock from 12 hr to 24 hr). I’ve restarted and also factory reset / unpaired the watch several times with no avail. I’m hoping this is a software issue? Any idea? :(
