Again, make sure not to use any soaps or cleaning products as these could damage your watch’s components.

Finally, if all else fails you may want to try usng just a drop of water on the affected area of your watch’s dial. Run your finger under the tap and follow the boundary of the button with that finger – this should do the trick! Make sure not to overdo it though; too much water can cause problems for your Apple Watch’s components.

These simple solutions should help restore your Apple Watch dial back to its original condition in no time! With just a little bit of effort and patience, you’ll be back up and running in no time at all!
