Out of nowhere, the Digital Crown on my watch stopped working. I tried every solution for this problem to no avail. I went to the Genius Bar and they said it was a hardware issue and would cost $399 to fix because I did not have Apple Care Plus?! This watch was a gift from last Christmas and a little over a year old. I’m so disappointed and frustrated. Just can’t afford to fix it. Anyone else have this happen?
Just out of curiosity, does it not work when you press it or turn it or both? If you tried the steps in the 'Clean and dry the Digital Crown' section of:
How to clean your Apple Watch - Apple Support
and it still doesn't work then it probably is a hardware problem and I'm not sure there is anything you can do other than get it repaired. For repair & service:
watch Repair - Official Apple Support
watch Service Pricing - Apple Support

Both. It’s kind of crazy that Apple wants me to pay nearly $400 fir a hardware issue. I think this is my last Apple Watch.
I understand you frustration. It is a rather expensive toy.
