Apple watch stuck in water lock mode

My watch is stuck in water lock mode. Can't swipe up to turn off water lock, and turning the crown (fast and multiple times) doesn't do anything. Help!

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

You can try force restarting the watch or closing the forefront overlay,

Hold down the power button then release when you get all of your options and then hold the crown down until the screen changes, see if this helps.

If not force restart the watch (think also clears cache) hold down both the power button and crown continuously until the screen goes black and you see the apple loo, could b upwards of 10/15 seconds.


Hope this helps.
