It's called water lock and it prevents accidental screen touches when your swimming or other water based actions.


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

Once there, tap on the Water Lock icon (looks like a water droplet).

After it’s enabled, you’ll see the Water Lock icon appear on the top of your Apple Watch face.

Now, your Apple Watch is in Water Lock mode and will disable all input on the device until disabled.


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 and vibrating multiple times. This is to allow any water in the speaker grill to escape.
