The green LEDs are used by the heart rate sensor. It is normal for the sensor to take background measurements of your heart rate regularly throughout the day, but the LEDs do not remain permanently lit for this purpose.


You can disable the light by going to your Apple watch settings > select privacy > toggle the Heart Rate off.
