Just picked up an Apple Watch 10 Titanium and noticed the buttons are very loud and clicky, the lower button even changes in noise depending on how you press it.

My previous watch 9 buttons are lovely and quiet.

Is this normal for the series 10 watches?
 
Yes! I have the same issue. If you click the side button at the top or bottom is quiet but if you click it in the center it’s a prominent clicky noise

Ok thanks for the quick reply, so I guess this is the norm then.
 
Yeah the series 10 titanium I had before returning had the same thing
 
Yes my jet black watch has a clicky button and Digital Crown as well. Not every time though. Sometimes it’s very quiet and sometimes it’s a loud click! I never had an Apple Watch before, so I didn’t think any of it really.

Same, glad I found this thread, my previous series 8 had this as well, but the series 10 side button in particular is much louder, and happens exactly as described, varying degrees based on where pressed, but most prominent when pressed directly in the center. Honestly, it sounds/feels kinda cheap, not sure why Apple cannot make it like the iPhone side button which has a very solid premium feel to it. My watch is a Jet Black 46. If this is normal, and no potential water ingress etc. guess I will keep it, as the watch itself is awesome, cannot believe how nice looking it is, and the lighter weight is as well at the lower sport watch price point.
