Hey guys!
I was curious - does everyone put their apple watch (from the newest generation) in waterproof mode if you're going to do a really sweaty exercise? I see reference to it being waterproof and sweatproof online, but i'm not clear on whether that's 100% of the time, or only when in waterproof mode.
Thanks!

Water Lock, only provides for limiting touch inputs, and water ejection. According to: How to use Water Lock and eject water from your Apple Watch - Apple Support
"When Water Lock is on, your Apple Watch Series 2 or later doesn't respond to touch on its display. This prevents accidental input while you're in water. When you turn off Water Lock, your watch ejects any water that remains in its speaker."
About Apple Watch water resistance - Apple Support states:
"Is my Apple Watch waterproof?
Your Apple Watch is water resistant, but not waterproof.* For example, you may wear and use your Apple Watch during exercise (exposure to sweat is OK), in the rain, and while washing your hands."

Waterlock does 2 things.
1) It locks the screen down so no touch can activate it.
2) When disengaged it expels the water from the speaker port.
When I workout I don't activate it as I want to be able to control my watch face.
There's no such thing as waterproof mode,Apple watches are water resistant;

And the water lock is to prevent accidental screen touches nothing else.
