    I am realizing that my S9 buttons, especially the middle one, is going harder.
    I can also watch button is slowly getting back out, after pressing.
    Think thats due to sweat … over time…
    Is there a button routine for that?
    E.g. pressing while washing … ?

      @mountainChris Very much at your own risk. Note @sartoric’s lube advisory. I thought I remembered DK writing something about this but couldn’t find it. Might have been about safe button-pressing depths. Or safe submergence time.

        I discovered that pressing button underwater is discouraged and to be avoided in watches that are not diving proof

          I had the same for my spartan upper button, and this routine seems to get things better.

          Currative : smooth brush around button under water (while not pressing it for sure), AND rince AND gently tap button face on a towel to dry them.

          Maybe repeat a couple of time.

          Preventive : each time you rince your watch (either after shower or rincing on purpose), tap the watch on towel, on button face but also on baro sensor holes face if you have. It is a routine i took and my button is globally better since that.
