Hello all. I've been setting up my series 6 Apple Watch since I received it yesterday, but I noticed that I can't scroll through the settings menu with the digital crown. I'm coming from a series 3, and I did it all the time. I can use the screen to scroll no problem, and in most other screens and menu's the crown works when I try to scroll with it. I did a search and didn't see anyone else complaining about it. I already restarted a few times, and installed the 7.01 update. For referenc, I can scroll through my apps on the list view with the crown, when settin up complications it works too.

I this something Apple took away on the newer watches? Or just an Apple Watch 6 bug?

I see the same thing. A minor annoyance. But I try the scroll wheel every time and get annoyed all over again when it doesn’t work.

Edit: It seems fixed with watchOS 7.0.1.

Mines on 7.01 already, I guess I'll just un-pair the watch and re-pair it to see if that helps.

Well, in case anyone else has the problem, I unpaired the watch then repaired it, it was a pain but it did fix the issue.
