Why do I have to turn off water lock to stop a swim workout? The stopwatch is running for about 10 extra seconds while I am holding down the crown.

Swim workout Is there another way to end a swim workout? Swiping is impossible. Even when I get out the pool and dry my watch it often won’t let me stop it

Removal of lock workout option in WatchOS 10 The Lock (water drop) option appears to have been removed from the Fitness app’s workout options in WatchOS 10. Seems like it’s automated for swimming, but I used it for other workout types where the screen and button often gets knocked e.g. boxing where gloves cover the watch. Any ideas how to restore the option aside from boxing underwater??

Can you turn off the animation for water lock? It interferes with my swim app when logging drills. I use the Swim.com app. It’s wonderful for logging my Swim‘s and for tracking my drills. The only problem is that when it goes into water lock mode and I have to unlock it every time I need to end a drill it adds seconds to my time which makes it seem like my drill took longer. Is there a way to turn off that animation while still allowing the watch to eject water properly?

The water lock prevents water splashes from accidentally activating various screen functions.
