Apple watch stuck on water eject mode. Digital crown not working

My apples watch series 3 is stuck on the eject water mode. The digital crown isn’t responding when I turn to eject the water. I have put it under water 10-15 seconds (to clean it), tried restarting it, and tried spinning the crown quickly and it still wont work.

On your Apple Watch, make sure you’re on the Watch face. Swipe up from the bottom to bring up Control Center.

To turn off Water Lock mode;

turn your Digital Crown away from you in one continuous movement until the animated water droplet fills the circle on the screen. Your Apple Watch will then start beeping multiple times. This is to allow any water in the speaker grill to escape.

Hello brittanycates78,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand from the information you provided that your Apple Watch is not responding when trying to eject water; I'd like to help.


When you use the water eject feature on the Apple watch you will need to keep turning the digital crown until the process is complete, this can require a number of spins of the digital crown. The following support article provides some more information:
