Apple Watch Shows Blue Border When 2 Accessibility Features Activate

Summary
A blue border on an Apple Watch usually means AssistiveTouch or VoiceOver has been turned on, rather than a hardware fault.
AssistiveTouch first flashes a blue ring around the display, then narrows it to a focus cursor that tracks highlighted options and gesture-based navigation.
VoiceOver can also trigger a blue border or circle while reading selected text and buttons aloud for users with visual impairments or hands-free use.
Settings > Accessibility lets users switch either feature off, and Siri can disable them with voice commands if menu navigation is inconvenient.
