I've had several apple watches over the years but my new Ti makes a louder click when pressing the button. It does not feel our sound defective but just much louder then my other watches. Anyone else exp this? I know thy are massed produced and tolerances can vary.
 
Yeah my new Series 6 SBTi has a louder click to the home button. It also has more play/wiggle in the crown than my 5.

I recall participating in your ‘wiggle thread‘. And that’s the tendency with something that’s mass produced in the hundreds of thousands, is they never have the same uniform specs’ across the board when manufacturing an Apple Watch. Now, something that was hand assembled like a Rolex, Tag, Panerai, that would be entirely different.

Yeah unfortunately. I’d prefer the crown having a bit less wiggle, but it works and clicks so I can’t see the point in trying to exchange it as everything else is good.
 
I've had a few Apple Watches over the years and have honestly noticed different crown/button behavior between every single one. Some are loose, some tight, some clicky, some mushy, it's all just kind of luck of the draw I think.
