Has anyone else's digital crown developed a stickiness/stiffness?
Mine was fine for the first 4 days and turned really freely, however today it has developed a bit of resistance when turning it.
I had this problem on day 2 of owning Watch 1 when it first came out. I was horrified.....tried to get Apple to exchange it ....but the answer was simple .....turn it off and run under water.
I challenged Apple stating that the Watch was not waterproof according to them...but they said it would be fine
Sure enough it works. I have done several times

I'm having the same. Was smooth on first day, now feels like it's gunked up or something and turning is not a smooth.
Exactly!!! I have the same issue. It's fine the first 4 days! Today, I found the situation. It will be a lot resistance not using for a while.
I've noticed the same issue. It seems to happen after a notification and haptic feedback. Then I turn it and all is well. Then it returns after a notification.
You mean that your digital crown scroll well this morning? It fixed itself?
Glad to see that I'm not the only one with this issue. Please keep us updated on how your Genius Bar appointments go. I have one scheduled for tomorrow.
I cannot take any genius bar appointment so I will go there in 1h. Will keep you informed.
I'll be returning mine too I think. There's no reason to think though that the SS model won't suffer the same problem.
LOL, mine is SS model...Same issue. I tried to drop few water. It seems better now.I didn't let my watch expose to any water before.
Didn't understand why it happened today suddenly.
You can't believe that replacement for a new watch costing 4 to 6 weeks from apple online store...
Has anyone here been to see the Geniuses at the Apple Store today? I couldn't get an appointment until Saturday.
You only have 14 days to return it though. I don't want to take it in, wait for a replacement, then have it happen again once it's out of the return period.
My appointment isn't until Saturday and I've 3 crossfit sessions and a gym session between now and then so it'll be getting sweated on a lot more. I'll see how it goes.
Good deal, please update after your appointment if you get a chance. I'm going to do the same after my appointment tonight or tomorrow.
I just wanted to let you know that I got exactly the same issue with my 42mm SS.
Wore it just once in the gym.
Thanks! I didn't realize there was an official Apple document on the topic. Definitely not worried about the water method I used now 🙂
