Apple Watch makes a clicking sound

I have the Apple Watch series 6 gps + cellular everything is fine on it no issues expect if i push on the screen from the side and push toward the crown there is a click sound and its not the haptic feed back its like there is a grain of sand or something stuck between the glass and body and it rubs when pushed but I’m not sure.

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.

No sadly I tried I took the band off completely gave it a light press and …click… its weird watch acts completely normal no issues what so every I am even able to submerge it under water for extended time and no issue but there is that little click that just makes me worry in the back of my mind.

Looking at your video my first guess is you are hearing the screen haptic response. Does it do this if you have the watch unlocked on your wrist and you are not in the passcode screen? The easy check for this would be to turn off Haptics and test again.

So update I sent my watch to apple the rep said it was not a normal thing so I sent it. I get a email back with them saying no fault found could not replicate issue….. even the rep I seen in person was apple to make it click without trying. So they are sending my watch back without even trying to fix it.
