How can I fix my Apple Watch Ultra's stuck "Action Button"?

i showered with my ultra after the gym and when i clocked out of waterlock mode my action button started bugging. i tried restarting updating and pairing it again to my phone but it still is appearing as if it’s pressed. i disabled it for now but im so confused on what to do? i already tried cleaning it with a bit of water or running it under hot water nothing worked. i’m sure there’s nothing stuck under there.


it also “unclicks” when i swipe up to the dock but then clicks again when in it until i swipe out then does it again. i’m unable to use both the crown and the other side button other than restarting the watch with them.


it also doesn’t do this when the watch is under waterlock.

I'm afraid, you will have to get the watch looked at and serviced by Apple, this might be hardware related after all.

You can do that by visiting an Apple Store/Authorized Apple Support Provider next to your place, or by contacting the official Apple Support directly:

Apple - Find Locations

Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
