Is it possible to put my Apple Watch (Series 8) in sleep mode (dark screen, no notifications, etc) without also getting the delay when pressing the digital crown?
The delay makes it extremely frustrating to do stuff like adjust my wake up time etc.
Apple Watch Series 8
In sleep mode my screen looks like this:
and when I press the crown key I get this (the swedish roughly translates to ”hold down the crown key to unlock” and ”keep holding…”)
I would like to get rid of the ”keep holding” step.

Hey cyberwhizz,
We’d be happy to help out. We’re not quite sure what you mean though and would like to gain a better understanding of what you’re trying to accomplish and whether it’s possible.
Are you referring to Theather mode perhaps on your Apple Watch or are you talking about using the Sleep focus? What do you mean by delay when pressing the Digital Crown exactly? How is this causing an issue for you exactly?
Any further details you can provide to help us better understand your issue and how we can assist will be very helpful!

Take care!
Hi cyberwhizz,
So this is intended behavior with this requirement hold down the crown key to unlock. If you are more specifically looking for a change to this, we would recommend leaving Product Feedback for the wanted changed.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
