Turned off and with no band inserted and clicking, you’ll want to make an appointment with Apple for a look at this. I don’t see anything there that should be clicking.

So if I lightly press on the opposite side of the watch like the far corner and i mean lightly press it toward the crown side there is a click sound and that is putting no pressure directly on the screen itself just pushing the far side of the screen. It makes a clicking sound like something is stuck between the glass and body. I never noticed it since i dont push on it so I’m not sure when i started i only noticed because i changed the screen protector today.

I’m hard pressed to think of a gap (that should be) anywhere near what I think you’re describing.


Are you pressing downward in the display furthest from the digital crown, or pressing on the side of the case toward the display on the side opposite the digital crown?


Are there any changes that happen to the display at the same time you’re pressing? Pressing firmly downward on the center of the display will trigger the face-change support. Pressing on complications will trigger the associated functions. Etc.
