Apple Watch: How To Fix Digital Crown Working Error?

To fix digital crown issues on your Apple Watch, follow these steps:

  1. Remove any protective films or cases that might block or interfere with the digital crown.
  2. Check for debris or dirt around the digital crown and clean your Apple Watch with a gentle stream of warm water (newer models only) or a 70% isopropyl cleaning wipe. Don't use soap or other cleaning agents, and avoid using water for leather bands.
  3. Ensure your Apple Watch is updated to the latest software version. Ask Siri to navigate to Settings > General > Software Update. Also, ensure your iPhone is updated (Settings > General > Software Update).
  4. Restart or force restart your Apple Watch (press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears). If the button doesn't respond, ask Siri to help you restart the watch.
  5. Unpair and re-pair your Apple Watch via your iPhone if necessary.

If the issue persists, consider:

  1. Checking for warranty coverage, and if needed, set up a repair with Apple Support.

If you've tried all the steps above and your digital crown is still unresponsive, visit an Apple Store, authorized service center, or contact Apple Support for further assistance, as the issue might be due to a hardware defect or other non-software causes. Remember, some Apple Watch models are designed to be water-resistant, but check the model and avoid using water for leather bands.
