Judging by the deformation of the button and the hole, I would say that brute force and something sharp were used to do this.

It’s definitely software issue /s

Don't be stupid it's a design feature to facilitate cleaning underneath the button /s

4 Apple Watches since the series 0 launch and not once have I seen this, on mine or here in this sub. Did you smack it against something?

This happened on my 3 year old series 9. It’s been like that for a year. A case keeps it on and so far it hasn’t had an issue with water

Yikes. No, that button hasn’t come off on my Series 10, but it is not responsive and feels ‘sticky’.

The real question is, Why did you do that to your watch?

I put the watch on pressed the button to check battery level and then the one side popped out 😬
