If you find that sounds from your Apple Watch Series 10 speaker are getting softer over time, you’re not the only one facing this problem.
The Apple Watch Series 10 in a sleek black color has been receiving feedback from users about its speaker not sounding as loud as it should. People are talking about this on various support forums and social media like Reddit. They mention that the sound gets quiet or muffled, even after using the feature that pushes water out of the speaker after swimming or other water-based activities.
This issue seems to impact both calls and music playback. It’s not clear yet how common this problem is, or whether it’s because of a flaw in the hardware or a glitch in the software. Apple might offer free fixes if it turns out to be a widespread hardware issue. If it’s software-related, expect a fix in a future update to watchOS.
The Apple Watch Series 10 came out in September 2024. I haven’t noticed the same issue with my watch, but I’ve only had it for a little over a month and I mostly use my AirPods Pro instead of the watch speaker.
