u/Rough-Experience-241

my settings:
resolution/fps — 4k 25fps
shutter — 1/50
ev — +1.3 (exposing brighter reduces noise in the shadows when grading d-log later)
iso — auto
nd — 2-32, manual, depending on the scene

hey everyone, need some advice/experience here.
after updating to watchos 27 beta 2 developer i caught a weird bug. the digital crown has become very stiff/hard to press, but the scrolling works perfectly fine.
i tried the official apple video on cleaning the apple watch (washing it under water) — didn't help at all.

questions:

• was there ever a haptic feedback on a simple click of the crown, or is it pure mechanics?
• could this be a software bug in the beta (like taptic engine somehow blocking the click) or what?
• has anyone experienced this on recent betas?

current problem: the stiff click is super annoying, but i don't want to take it to repair if it's just a software thing.

would appreciate any thoughts/solutions.
p.s. apple watch 11, watchos 27 dev beta 2
