Apple Watch Ultra Crown (not as “clicky”)

Has anyone else experienced a less responsive crown on the Apple Watch Ultra? Compared to my Series 8 the crown does not make a very audible click and just over all does not feel “clicky” when pressed.

Apple Watch S10 Digital Crown not responding to presses frequently After setting up my new Series 10 Apple Watch from a backup of my previous Series 6 I immediately noticed a problem with the Digital Crown button. Frequently, it doesn't register presses. Sometimes it works fine, and other times it requires multiple presses (from 2 to ~10) for it to register the click. Once it registers a click it will usually work ok for a while. After a period of not interacting with the watch, the next time I press the Digital Crown it will require multiple presses to register a click again. I've tried restarting the watch, setting it up again from backup, and setting it up as a new device (not from backup), but nothing fixes it. Long pressing the Digital Crown to invoke Siri always works. Anyone else experiencing this, or have any other ideas what to do? I'll be contacting Apple Support if there are no magic fixes.

apple watch notification and system haptic doesn’t work, while the Digital Crown haptics works fine. I have a pretty unusual issue with my Apple Watch Series 6 that I haven’t seen anyone else report.About a year and a half ago, the haptic feedback for notifications suddenly stopped working. I assumed the Taptic Engine might have failed — which would make sense for an older watch. However, I still get perfectly normal haptic feedback when I scroll the Digital Crown, which makes me think the motor is at least partially functional. Has anyone experienced this? Is it possible that only certain haptic functions (like notifications) can fail, while others (like the crown feedback) still work? Any known fix or workaround?

The operation of the crown on my Apple Watch Ultra is very smooth and most definitely does NOT make a click sound. The crown on my Series 7 watch in Stainless Steel did not make a click sound. I don't think there is anything wrong with your Ultra.
