My watch started vibrating and I noticed this spacy animation. It disappeared after about 15-20 seconds. This happened while sitting on the couch doing nothing. My iPhone was about a meter away. My SO sitting next to me, also about a meter away.

It's just the watch self actualizing. Don't panic. Just stay on friendly terms with it.

I‘m always on friendly terms with it :) It’s the best device Apple ever invented.

It's the airdrop a contact feature. Hold another, phone or even yours, up to it and it will trigger it.

Wow, that is a strange UI choice for that feature. Nebulous - both figuratively and literally.

Ahaaa thanks! Good to know :D

Looks like it’s reset and trying to run through the setup. Sounds basic but have you tried a hard restart?

Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds.
Release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.

Actually it restored its self after a few seconds. No data loss of similar.
