Sticky crown?

[PPCmike]

Anyone have the issue where on my series 3 the digital crown sometimes sticks a little when trying to rotate it?

I had one that stuck when I pressed it in. Apple replaced it.

Tried rinsing it yet?

Happens to mine a good bit, especially after sweat dries on it. Just rinse it off and it will be fine

It's not necesairly abnormal. Many of the digital crowns have different manufacturing consistencies.

I will try it with the water

My AW2 and AW3 both stick regularly. After runs with the AW3 I've just started rinsing the crown with warm water while pushing and turning it for 10 seconds or so. Seems to keep the sweat from drying and causing the problem.

If you rinse it under water while turning it should instantly go back to normal. If not you might want that have Apple take a look at it as a few seals have worked their way loose in some threads here.
