Q: Big question about sticky digital crown

I reported "sticky digital crown" problem here: Sticky Digital Crown

And Apple suggests us to just wash it.

But my problem happens later. So I exchanged my watch.

 

I've return my apple watch to Apple and get the new watch several days ago. (42mm Sport)

 

However, I've found that my new watch has sticky digital crown problem again in less than three days. (I promise that I NEVER make it dirty since I received new watch)

This problem occurs when I am in one room with air conditioner on.

When I go out of this room I find my watch's digital crown not sticky any more.

The temperature outside is about 3-5 degree higher than inside.

So I think it is all about the temperature and air pressure.

When it gets cooler, the digital crown changes its place/location a little.

So it is touched sticky since friction with "rubber ring"(I don't know how to describe it).

When it is taken to other place the temperature returns higher, the air pressure difference disappeared.

 

This problem occurs sometimes, not always. So I don't think it is just because of dirty things.

So in my opinion, the design of apple watch has severe problem according to the experiments, especially Sport edition.

In China, many many people have reported about this.

Could Apple give any constructive suggestions rather than making us "washing watch"?

 

Do I need to wash my watch every time when I have some exercise?? Especially "it should be off when I wash it"!!!

Do I always have some "warm water" nearby when this problem occurs??

 

What does Apple really think with regard to this problem??

"It is just dirty and wash it"??

 

I'm very disappointed about it.

I need an explanation, Apple.

Apple Watch, Watch OS 1.0.1, null
