Ghost screen, screen's bleeding with others, very dim screen
Hi guys, I have a Apple Watch 42mm, great condition, no falls or deep scratches, but I have a problem with it, I don't understand whats happening but he has like image above image like situation, with white screen I can see the apple logo behind the white screen, and even behind apps, it's really weird. I did a full reset, the latest update, I already reduced the transparency.

So in conclusion:

- Display very dim even with maximum brightness

- Bleeding screens (seeing (always) other screens used by apps)

-Tried full restore, reset, update, reduce transparency on.

Try a reset. If it won't work,leave it to service centre.

nothing worked for me, I can use the watch without problem but its annoying that ghostly thing...
I believe this could be some damage made by sunlight maybe. The OLED screen is pretty sensible to this kind of stuff right?

Thanks

The heat is probably worse than the light itself.
