Why is my Apple Watch face orange?
Actually, it’s not orange but red. Quite possibly you’ve turned On the Flashlight via Control Center. So, to fix it you’ll just need to disable the flashlight. So, before you reset the smartwatch to its factory settings or take some other course of action, verify if the Flashlight option is On.
Alternatively, you can simply swipe your finger down from the top of the orange screen to disable it.
Why does my Apple Watch have a red flashlight?
When using bright white light in a dark environment, your eyes invariably transition from Night Vision to Day Vision. This can hurt your eyes and even cause one’s sleep to vanish. Red light helps avoid this problem as it doesn’t break your night vision. It’s even less disturbing to wildlife and attracts fewer bugs. So, if there’s a pet sleeping nearby the red light of your Apple Watch won’t disturb him. For this reason, Apple Watch has a red flashlight.
Hope that makes sense!
