I have zero complaints with the watch I received. Everything, even speaker and haptic, has given me no problems until now.
This morning, I received a phone call and I could barely hear the person speaking to me through my watch. The volume was noticeably low (virtually nonexistent).
I ran with it this morning, rinsed it under water after the run and gone about my day as usual. (I have done this multiple times a week since I run several times a week. I rinse it under faucet to remove sweat residue.)
This afternoon after blasting the speaker port with air, the speaker now has a crackling sound and the volume comes in and out. A took a call and it sounded normal, then reverted to nearly no sound, then came back to normal.
Planning on making a genius bar appointment if the issue persists, but wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this and if it is just the nature of it getting wet and will maybe fix itself once it dries out.
Thanks for replies!

Watch and try again. Blasting an armature (the type of speaker used) with high pressure air is probably not a good idea and likely is the cause of the current problem (now damaged).
