Water lock icon no longer available on Apple Watch.
My water lock icon is no longer available on Apple Watch. I noticed it was gone after the last update. How do I get the icon/app back on my watch?

Yes it is.
Press side button (not the crown) once then scroll down

I can’t find water drop icon on my Apple Watch
So for all of us that cannot swipe up on the watch face to access our control center for the water drop icon, the volume and such, JUST PRESS THE POWER button below the dial. 🤦🏽♀️ Can’t believe it was there the whole time and none of the geniuses in this community could help us. I feel dumb

I found the new spot control panel since the latest update, has turning off the water lock changed or do you still press the crown to turn off the water lock?
Thank you so much for this info!! It’s been driving me nuts not being able to find it! I thought it was shortcuts, so thank you for clarifying and helping 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😅
Not apps screen, its the Control Center screen
Control center has moved to the side button on os10
I do not find an “Edit” button at the bottom of my apps screen

Control Center moved from the swipe up to a quick press and release of the flat oval side button (see picture)
Use Control Center on Apple Watch - Apple Support
DO NOT hold the button, as that brings up the Emergency services display
Settings -> Accessibility -> Side Button Click Speed
can be used to adjust the press and release timing. This is rather useful getting Apple Pay's double press and release to work reliably. I like Slow, and my Wife likes the Slowest setting.

How to use Water Lock and eject water from your Apple Watch - Apple Support
The previous Control Center swipe-up has moved to a quick press and release of the flat oval side button
Use Control Center on Apple Watch - Apple Support
DO NOT hold the button, as that brings up Emergency services and the power off icon.
Control Center should then show you the iPhone ping icon (find my iPhone), Battery percentage, Flashlight, Water Lock, Airplane mode, Alarm silence, Theater mode, and all the other Control Center services.
An alternate way to get some of the Control Center services is:
“Hey Siri, find my iPhone”
“Hey Siri, Flashlight”
“Hey Siri, Battery”
“Hey Siri, Airplane mode”
Getting the press and release timing just right can be an issue. You can make it more reliable by changing:
Settings -> Accessibility -> Side Button Click Speed
“Side Button Click Speed” can adjust the press and release timing, so you get the Control Center display every time. Adjusting The “Side Button Click Speed” is also useful for Apple Pay’s double press and release. There is “Default” (sub second timing of needed), “Slow” (up to a second between press and release), and “Slowest” (up to 2 seconds between press and release). I like the “Slow” setting.
NOTE: Slow and Slowest settings do not mean you have to wait a full second or 2 seconds between press and release. It just means you do not need to be super fast.
As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the Water Lock feature on Apple Watch is designed to help protect the device from water damage by temporarily disabling the screen's touch functionality and ejecting any water from the speaker. However, it's important to note that Apple may make updates to its operating system and feature availability over time.
If you're unable to find the Water Lock icon on your Apple Watch, here are a few suggestions to troubleshoot the issue:
If none of these steps resolve the issue, I recommend visiting the Apple Support website or contacting Apple directly for further assistance. They can provide the most up-to-date information and guidance based on your specific Apple Watch model and software version.
I found the water drop by doing what you said to do to hit the bottom below the crown one time then scroll through your apps and it’s there thank you for sharing that because it was being a bummer having to take my watch off every time I was using water.
