If you have an Apple watch, then the stuck of its digital crown is something that might happen to your. So how to fix it, and Is there a way to prevent that from happening again? Don’t worry”!! We have the correct answers for all these questions. In this article we’re going to show you how to fix a sticky digital crown on your Apple watch using the Apple’s recommended method.

 

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF THIS DIGITAL CROWN STUCK:

Your Apple watch is IP68. meaning that it’s water and dust proof tested, but is this test 100% accurate? The answer, could be Yes, and could No. And what I mean by that, is there are different factors and there is no way to say it’s 100% dustproof or waterproof. Because, it depend on the nature of the area you live in and if the digital crown itself is water and dust proof. That’s why I’m expecting to see this problem happening to people whom live in cities where there is too much wetness, more than it is to others whom live in dry areas.

An other thing to keep in mind here, is that Apple has tested this on fresh water. not a very hot or salty water and if we want the test to be fully accurate, we should ask Apple to test their products on different countries and cities around the world with their natural differences.
