Apple Watch Crown not working

The Digital Crown is a vital component of the Apple Watch, allowing you to scroll, zoom, and navigate with ease. But what happens when it stops working? Don’t worry; there are practical solutions to resolve this issue. In this guide, we’ll explore the common causes of a malfunctioning Apple Watch Crown and how to fix it.


Why Is the Digital Crown Not Working?

  1. Dirt or Debris Build-Up
    Over time, dust and grime can accumulate around the Crown, causing it to become stuck or unresponsive.
  2. Software Glitch
    Temporary software bugs may affect the Crown’s functionality, especially after an update.
  3. Hardware Damage
    Physical damage, such as drops or impacts, can impair the Crown’s performance.
  4. Moisture Inside the Watch
    Water resistance can only go so far—exposure to excessive moisture can sometimes impact the Crown.

How to Fix a Non-Responsive Apple Watch Crown

  1. Clean the Digital Crown
    • Turn off your Apple Watch.
    • Hold the watch under lightly running, warm water for 10-15 seconds.
    • Rotate the Crown to dislodge debris.
    • Wipe it dry with a lint-free cloth.
  2. Restart Your Apple Watch
    • Press and hold the Side Button until the power-off slider appears.
    • Drag the slider to turn off the watch.
    • Wait a few seconds and then turn it back on.
  3. Force Restart (if Necessary)
    • Hold both the Digital Crown and Side Button simultaneously for 10 seconds.
    • Release the buttons when the Apple logo appears.
  4. Update the Software
    • Ensure your Apple Watch is running the latest version of watchOS. Go to the Watch app on your iPhone, tap General > Software Update, and install any available updates.
  5. Check for Physical Damage
    • Look for visible dents or cracks around the Crown. If damage is apparent, professional repair is the best option.
