Has anybody noticed that their force Touch no longer works? It seems like mine quit working after the last update months ago. I thought it was because the screen was dirty. I cleaned it and still doesn't work. I unpaired and repaired the Watch still no work. I paired and setup as new Watch and still force Touch doesn't work. Any other ideas? BTW all other haptics and screen touches work fine. Just no force Touch.
 
I can not force touch in the weather app anymore.

ETA: and apparently not to customize the faces either. Hmmm. Hopefully this will reset itself next week with the new OS.

I have noticed that if the battery is low (below 75%) force touch doesn't seem to work. I had mine on today and it worked great until I was working outside and had a workout on. I got pretty sweaty and noticed that force touch didn't work. I dried the watch off and cooled off still no force touch, the battery was at 68% which seems pretty low for only and hour or so. I then put it on the charger and when it was fully charged the force touch started working again. I just checked it now and it seems to be working again. I even had my son try it and it didn't work for him either. So not sure what is going on. As you point out mollyc hopefully it will be corrected with watchOS 5. If not my AC doesn't run out until December. I will open a ticket and send it in for repair.
 
well I just charged my watch to 100% and it’s still not working. :(
[doublepost=1537181332][/doublepost]When I press I can feel the haptic working, it just doesn’t bring up the sub menus. Do I don’t think it’s a hardware issue. Hoping OS5 fixes it.
 
I was doing a search for this last night on my phone and didn't realize that your post was about a Series 2. I actually have a Series 3. I'm wondering if I just banged it on the treadmill too hard (which I do sometimes, although I do try to wear a case/bumper when I'm on the treadmill, but don't always) and just made the sensor shift a bit internally. The watch is otherwise just fine but none of the force touch menus work, which is a pain because now some settings I can't get to, like changing the weather view, or being able to set the move goal outside of the weekly summary page.
