      Here is something that I have been noticing more recently:

      Sometimes I rotate the crown wanting to change the zoom level of the map but nothing happens. Then I try to rotate it again, and it does change the zoom level. I haven’t noticed a pattern, but this definitely happens from time to time - often enough to bother me.

      Has anyone else noticed this?

        @sky-runner The problem is the fixed zoom levels. The crown has to be rotated sufficiently to allow the zoom. I have been quite frustrated with this. When we were testing the Race there was continuous zoom, which I really liked. Then it was changed to fixed zoom levels. I loudly commented for a long time… but now the firmware has fixed zoom levels. It is consistent with watches that have buttons so I get that.

        In winter with gloves I get quite annoyed that I don’t rotate the crown sufficiently for the zoom to occur. So, I don’t think it has to do with responsiveness but how much the crown has to rotate for the zoom to occur.

          @Brad_Olwin Thank you for your comment! Yes, I think this happens more when I wear gloves.
