In the latest watchOS(9) update the setting to turn of water lock and sleep lock changed from turning the Digital Crown to pressing and holding the Digital Crown. Iv been looking around for a setting to get the "turn Digital Crown" setting back but I can't find it. can I get any help ?
I find pressing the Digital Crown to be really slow compared to the old way.
Would much appreciate the help

This behavior is baked into WatchOS and isn't something you can change. This was likely changed because many complained that they accidentally scrolled the crown turning off Water Lock, when they didn't mean or want to.

It's not likely Apple will go backwards on this however.

You're welcome. Apple won't respond to the feedback you provided, but they will read it. Apple isn't big on giving us choices. And as mentioned, too many complained about how it was before the change. Yet few are complaining about having to press the crown in to turn off water lock as that is a more dedicated and purposeful way to turn off water lock, with fewer chances for accidental turn offs.
