Let's talk about the "clickiness" of the digital crown button

@Stefano-M64 polar opposite for me
Iāve worn my SS Race 24/7 since I got her in January so sheās in the shower every day, been swimming in the sea many times & on my wrist at work.
I work in the telecoms industry so she finds herself thrust into shit filled underground chambers all the time & then washed off with industrial strength hand cleaner & wet wipesā¦
Sheās still like the day I got her in both appearance & crown āclickinessā, seems tough as old boots to me & I seriously couldnāt be happier with her (even more so after yesterdays awesome update).

Thanks,
I was encouraged by previous posts and some knowledge in solvents, sealing and cleaning agents, also, my post should warn all unlucky customersā¦ if this happens - nothing will back your click again :() -
Had my Race S for almost 3 weeks now. Iām not sure if itās always been like this, but my top button is way clickier than the bottom button, which feels soft and a bit muffled (not as satisfying).
Even my crown feels clickier than the bottom button, i wonder if thereās any way to recover the clickiness, or if it came out of the box that way!

Hello, Race friends. I know itās an old topic but if you permit me Iāll use it to ask my question here.
Itās been a while since my Race all black lost the clickiness of the crown button. Also due to that the movement of the crown when you push it I has become kind of shorter. The Race is hands down my favorite watch ever. But this hardware issue has been getting on my nerves for a while now and Iād like to have it resolved.
Iāve tried to submerge the watch in lukewarm water but no change whatsoever.
Has anyone tried sending in the watch for repair? Does Suunto repair this kind of problem? Does the problem reappear after a while?
Yesterday I bought a brand new SV, so I can afford to spend some time without my favorite watch.
Thank you. -

I own my Race for more than one year, its clickness comes and goes, sometimes is softer others stronger, now it is quite strong.
I never did something to improve or recover the clickness, have no idea why it behaves that way, but at the end I just donāt care -
Happened to me a few times. I solved it with alcohol prep pads. Just slide it carefully between the crown and the watch body and rub few times.

On my Race the clickiness seems to be irreversibly gone. No clickiness and the movement is sort of shallow. Tomorrow it will be picked and delivered to the repair center in Slovenia. Letās see what theyāll do.

@Prenj I can confirm - this too worked for me.

@General_Witt yep, I have the same issue, feels weird when you push the button and you have to double check that it actually did anything.
Also other slight issues, an orange glow at the edges of the amoled display sometimes.
Chargingā¦ sometimes doesnāt charge when you put it on the magnetic charger -
@Highlands My Race got replaced with a new one (under warranty) which I got on Tuesday. Went pretty fast. Everythingās going great with my new Race.
