Buttons easily jammed & stuck with sweat or salt water.

Hello

I have owned multiple watches & trackers in the past, all doing the same activities, and with lots of sweat & salt water they all get jammed buttons, BUT never so quickly & easily as my new FR 245.

And my previous watches have all been pretty easy to un-stick on-the-go with a quick squirt of water from a drink bottle, and then properly cleaned at home later.

However, with the FR 245 I have to stop my activity and properly rinse and dry the watch several times to fully un-stick any stuck buttons. And I have found that I need to do this multiple times during longer activities. Not so practical!

I have read other posts with others having sticky/mushy button issues, but have not read any solutions yet.

I welcome any insight into this situation.

As a side note: The first thing I noticed when I unboxed the watch (about a week ago), was the non-positive operation of the buttons, and that they all felt slightly different when pushed (e.g Up button clicks when pushed, Down button clicks when released, Light button clicks on the push & release, or at least that's how it feels to me :) ).

Thank you, I am very grateful for your help :)
