Sticky Digital Crown

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.

Yeah it was very difficult for me to do this at first too. I've kind of just gotten used to it and do a full washdown most times after I workout-paying special attention to the digital crown to get the sweat out of there. I guess if the thing is basically waterproof a quick rinse under the faucet won't do much harm. Considering apple tells you to do that, if anything ever happens we can all just say "you told us to" 😝

EExactly the same issue here. Got my sports watch for three months now, I don't do any sports actually so there can't be any sweat or dirt. I also take great care of my watch, I work in IT, spend whole day behind a desk so there's no way there could get some dirt in the watch.

I've noticed that there is a lot of resistance on the Digital Crown after it is left idle for a couple of minutes. It's kind of stuck at first, really difficult to spin, but then it's ok once you actually manage to turn it. It definitely doesn't spin as nice as did at the beginning.

I don't like the idea of putting it under running water - what if then something happens, I take it the the Apple Store and they tell me it was water damaged and the warranty is not valid?
