Apple Watch enthusiasts who eagerly updated their devices to watchOS 9.5 may be in for an unwelcome surprise. While this latest software release introduced the Pride Celebration watch face and promised bug fixes, it appears to have introduced an irksome display problem for numerous users.

Reaching the subreddits r/AppleWatch and r/watchOS, a growing chorus of complaints unveils a prominent green/gray tint now afflicting screens, casting an undesirable hue over the otherwise vibrant OLED displays. This newfound issue has become a thorn in the side of Apple Watch owners, presenting an unanticipated setback.

The visual aberration triggered by the watchOS 9.5 update manifests as an intrusive green/gray tint that significantly alters the color rendition on affected Apple Watch screens. Reports flooding online communities showcase the disheartening impact, with the once sharp and vivid OLED display now appearing washed out.

Users have shared photographs exemplifying the problem, revealing the extent of this disruptive bug. While functionality remains intact, it is undeniably disconcerting for Apple Watch wearers to witness the degradation of their cherished timepieces' visual performance.

Notably, the intensity of this display issue appears to fluctuate among different Apple Watch models, causing varying degrees of green/gray tint. Some users report a more subdued impact, with the discoloration being less pronounced, while others contend with glaring color distortions that are impossible to overlook.

Consequently, the bug's severity presents an additional layer of frustration for affected individuals, as they contend with the extent to which this flaw impacts their Apple Watch experience.
