Moto 360 1st. gen screen has half of colors.

Got up this morning and all colors are gone from screen except black, white, green and shades of purple.
Red, yellow orange and blue are either gray or green.
There is a spot that looks like a light red burned into screen that says moto.

I did factory reset several time, but didn't help any.

Anyone have any ideas.

Thank you for any help.

Re: Moto 360 1st. gen screen has half of colors.

This definitely sounds like hardware failure, unfortunately, especially if you already did a factory reset.

One way to tell for sure is to look at the boot animation. If the colors are also muted/distorted there, then it's certainly hardware gone bad.

There is no reds in the boot animation now. Purple is the closest to a red color on screen.
Its over a year old, so no sending it back.
Thanks for the response

Sad to hear :(

Well, there are some good deals on the OG Moto360 right now (a poster found one for 99 bucks the other day), and you might be able to score one for a newer watch since Memorial Day sales are approaching.
