Wearing an Apple Watch Ultra over a wetsuit keeps requiring pass code

Hi there Hum97jer,

This may be expected behavior depending on the settings you have for your Apple Watch Ultra. If you want, you can turn off your passcode or change the settings so that you have to manually lock your Apple Watch. However, if you want to manually lock your Apple Watch, you must turn off wrist detection. You can view this information and more here: Lock or unlock Apple Watch - Apple Support. This page offers guidance for how to unlock your Apple Watch, change the passcode, turn off the passcode, and much more.

Turn off the passcode

1. Open the Settings app  on your Apple Watch.

2. Tap Passcode, then tap Turn Passcode Off.

You can also open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Passcode, then tap Turn Passcode Off.

Note: If you disable your passcode, you can’t use Apple Pay on your Apple Watch.

Lock manually

1. Touch and hold the bottom of the screen, then swipe up to open Control Center.

2. Tap .

Note: To manually lock your Apple Watch, you must turn off wrist detection. (Open the Settings app  on your Apple Watch, tap Passcode, then turn off Wrist Detection.)

You must enter your passcode the next time you try to use your Apple Watch.

You can also lock your screen to avoid accidental taps during a workout. While using the Workout app on your Apple Watch, just swipe right, then tap Lock. When you start a swimming workout, your Apple Watch automatically locks the screen with Water Lock.

Best wishes!
