Last week, Apple Watch owners received a new firmware version with watchOS 9.5 build number. However, after that, some of them had problems with the screen.

What does it mean

After the update, a strange green tint appeared on the displays of some watches. It is visible on the password entry screen, when accessing the Control Center, and when receiving notifications. Some of the users suggested that Apple intentionally added this shade. But that’s unlikely, as it looks out of place: one user described it as a “blurred LCD screen” rather than the pure black OLED he’s used to seeing on his watch.

Judging by the complaints on Reddit and the MacRumors forums, the problem has affected almost all models. It appears less frequently on Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Ultra, and more frequently on Apple Watch Series 8 and older devices.

It is not yet clear what exactly happened, but most likely it is a bug in the hardware. This has happened before with the iPhone, and then Apple solved the problem with an update. It is likely that the manufacturer will “fix” the Apple Watch with the next watchOS updates.
