And it's possible that it's been broken for months.īut until this change came with WatchOS 10, I didn't even need to use the side button to access everything I wanted on the Apple Watch. That's when I realized that my Apple Watch was broken. I attempted to double-press again to no avail. I attempted to clear out of the tutorial by pressing the Digital Crown a few times, but the message stayed stubbornly on the screen. The button didn't appear to move, and the screen didn't acknowledge my taps. However, when I tried to double-tap it, nothing happened. But instead of celebrating the new widgets and watch faces, I discovered that Apple made a major change that rendered my first-generation Apple Watch SE nearly useless.Īfter downloading WatchOS 10, a tutorial popped up on the SE's screen that required me to double-tap the side button, which I rarely use.
I was excited to get a bunch of new Apple Watch features after downloading WatchOS 10.
