Alarm: Apple Watch updated to watchOS 9.5 has a green screen error

The status of 'blue screen of death' on Apple Watch after updating to watchOS 9.5 is posted a lot on social networks, Reddit forums or MacRumors. Specifically, after updating to the latest version, Apple Watches have appeared a green color at the password entry screen (Lockscreen), Control Center (Control Center) and notification area (notifications). .

This situation mostly appears on Apple Watch Series 8 models and some older generation products. Previous versions appear more blue than the Series 8 generation. The blue area appears almost the entire screen and it looks like a dimmed LCD, instead of the deep blacks like. on the OLED screen. Currently, some users have also come up with solutions such as restarting the device, but only some Apple Watch devices are fortunate to have completely disappeared this error, others are still having problems. 

The green screen error is probably not too strange for some users, because it has appeared on updates on iPhone devices. And it was also identified as a software bug and patched on later iOS version. 

If you're planning to upgrade to watchOS 9.5 on your Apple Watch, be patient and wait for an upcoming fix.
