Hi

Got an S5 alloy and noticed that the crown wiggles very slightly on the crown stem, the crown stem is solid however the crown can be slanted left to right very slightly?

Anyone else notice this ?

Best advice:

If you’re concerned it’s a manufacturing factory defect, take it to Apple and have them look at it.

I think it’s worth noting that all the digital crowns might have some differences with side-to-side play with tolerances, but to what extreme? That I don’t know, which is why I am suggesting Apple inspect it.
 
Like Relentless Power said you may wanna have it checked at the Apple Store. Do it before you take a swim with your watch because any water damage - even if it was caused by an Apple manufacturing issue - will not be covered.
