Jackets/Long sleeves turn up the volume of Apple Watch.

[iAngelo]

Is it only just me or it's a common occurrence that whenever I'm wearing long sleeves, coats or jackets it accidentally move the digital crown of my apple watch and turn up the volume of the music i'm playing. It's sucks because I'm wearing my airpods pro and suddenly the music gets so loud.


Anyone can relate?

I had this issue up until they made an update that required an initial spin of the crown before the volume control engaged. Can’t recall what OS version that was. What Watch and WatchOS version are you on?

I often have the issue with it swiping my screen to the next face with certain shirts.

Try rotate the watch 180 degrees, so the crown points away from your hand. That is how I wear mine to prevent any accidental crown activation.

Agree with Significant one, our the watch around, i had a different but related issue, when I'd wear the watch while cycling because of how my wrist was bent, I'd get siri activated pretty often. I turned the wash around (it definitely took some getting used to) but now it works great.

I have my watch on my left wrist with the crown pointing towards my fingers and can say i have never had this happen.

I'm a leftie. It's always been like that. Thanks for the tip.

It is not a given. You can set what arm you use and what side you want the crown to be in general settings. So even on your right arm, you can still have the crown facing your hand.
