Touch Screen issues

Similar here. I documented the problem on my blog and also posted a video of the issue if you are interested. Mine kept showing the issue even after painfully performing a full watch reset... given the display hardly responded to touch:

I booked an appointment with an Apple genius and now my watch has been sent for repair... I really don't see how they can repair that given how difficult it is to take apart. Will see when it comes back. Another owner reported a similar issue and when his watch came back it was still broken. He eventually received a new one as a replacement.

Me too happened to me a week ago, after hours and hours doing resets and pairing have come to the conclusion that what is wrong is not the screen, I think (I not think, I confirm!) That are sensors the back, the 4 circles fails. If Apple Watch put the plane on a wooden table you will see that it works perfectly, and if you separate yourself from the table touch screen playing the fool again.

See someone can confirm?

Hi, this was not my case. In my case even with the watch on a table the display was not responding properly

I had the exact issue described here. Touch display behaving very strange. thr watch worked perfectly for a couple of month. Then this started a couple of weeks ago. The display works after a hard reset but only for an hour or less. The same after a recharge. Very strange. I was ready to take to my local Apple Store, but I decided to wait for watchOS 2. Upgraded earlier this week. Same problem!

Now to the good news.

I read this thread and saw the post about cleaning the digital crown. Under running water turn and push the crown. I didn't believe in that solution since my problem had nothing to do with the crown. It work perfectly. But I tried it. And it actually solved the touch display issues. I can't explain it but it works. Have been working for a couple of days now. Try it!

/T

And now a couple of days later the display is back to not working. And the clean with water trick does not work anymore...

I guess the next step is to go to the Apple Store.

Mine came back a 3rd time from Apple Care and it has been working ever since. I don't know what it is but something is certainly tripping some sensors or something and causing the issue. My biggest complain is that the last time the watch came back the screen was damaged (the glass is marked on the right side where it goes round) but try to prove they did it and not me ;-( I am not happy but what can I do ;-(

I am now also having the same issue after the watch working perfect for 3 months. What changed.

I have reset it several times and that sometimes fixes it for a few hours. I have noticed that if I test the touch screen on my wrist and confirm its not working then move the watch to the charger it works. As soon as I mover it off the charge it fails again.

Given many of the post ref failing after a few months, could this be peak battery voltage which dropped from its brand new high. If while new the voltage from battery is 1.3 and after a few months the peak voltage from the battery drops to 1.25 it might impact the touch screen drivers. Just a thought but still have a watch that does not work.

Not looking forward to the visit to the Apple Store. How much time is this going to burn up.

Brand new watch, 42mm Sport received as a birthday present yesterday.

Out of the box screen wouldn't respond in setting the language, then suddenly did. Paired to my phone but couldn't change the watch face.

My wife has a 38mm sport and it was obvious comparing them that there is something defective with the screen/watch.

Call out to Apple on Sunday, helpful guy in the USA but couldn't put me through to anyone in UK, got a call from Apple in Dublin this morning couple of choices, take and replace in store, or drop off at UPS. I'm in London Wednesday so will do so then.

We have a lot of Apple products, first one we have had an issue with.

II fear we are paying the pioneer's orice

I am having the EXACT same issue. When on the charger, touch screen works flawlessly, but when of the charger, touch becomes unresponsive, has "self" random touches etc.

My warranty expires on August 6th and I am really scared if they will replace the watch for this problem?

How did you solve yours?

If your watch is not behaving expected, contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation with a view to having it checked (under warranty, if eligible):

This happened to me today and my son turned th voice over off and now my watch works great.
