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.

A sticky Digital Crown can be caused by the crown's gasket / seal / o-ring becoming dislodged.
As the part has worked loose from your Apple Watch and fallen out, contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available, if required), make a Genius Bar reservation or visit an Apple Authorised Service Provider to arrange for your Apple Watch to be serviced:

In the meantime, be sure not to expose your Apple Watch to water.
I tried this solution. In first few days it seems worked.
But today i found my watch's digital crown sticky again and more severe than I first found this problem.
I don't know what I can do with that.
Same issue here... Digital Crown sticky after every sport I do
Apple Store sent it to repair, i'm still waiting some news (5 days without it yet, it's hard...)
On the one occasion I experienced this, a rinse with warm water, per Appel's suggestion, fixed it. That was about 4-5 months ago and I haven't had a recurrence. It really only takes a minute or two
Don't worry about the running water. I've had this occur 2 or 3 times. A few seconds under warm running water has worked each time.
I rinsed mine with warm water it solved the problem
I have a series 1 and it isn’t waterproof but I have that problem what do I do
God bless you in 2017 and 2018, This worked for me
