How To Fix Apple Watch White Lines On Screen
Apparently the white lines are triggered by an Accessibility setting, more precisely Assistive Touch.
An user explains on Reddit that Apple has implemented a delimitation of the display edges to make sure that the content doesn’t display right next to the black bezel.
However, sometimes these strips glitch out and get stuck with the wrong color and show up because of the contrast. The white lines can be seen when the background switch from bright to dark.
One of the triggers of this glitch seems to be the Assistive Touch option.
Fix: Turn it Off in Settings -> Accessibility -> Assistive Touch and reboot your Apple Watch!
How to: Power device Off and turn it back On or use the force restart trick.
