Hi! Trying to unlock the Water Lock on my Iwatch by pressing and holding the Digital Crown on the side of the watch, but it is not unlocking. Any suggestions?

How to turn off Water Lock and eject water

Press and hold* the Digital Crown on the side of your Apple Watch until the display says Unlocked. A series of tones plays to clear any water that remains in the speaker, and then you can use your display as usual.


* If your Apple Watch has watchOS 8 or earlier, rotate the Digital Crown instead of pressing it.
