How do I lock my watch during a workout? The Lock button is no longer there when I swipe right.

It appears the lock feature during a workout has gone away??

horrid new method for locking screen. I can’t get through a **** workout without the thing automatically pausing. I’m beginning to hate these Apple watches.

You have to start your workout FIRST.

To engage the lock, Press (but don't HOLD) the flat button (the one on the side flush with the case), scroll down to the water drop and press it. The water drop lights up. Then the screen automatically goes back to the screen you were at within your workout with the stats showing.

To disengage the lock, press and hold the crown button until it clears. Then you can swipe to pause or end the workout.


I do agree it is a silly change for the sake of change. No value add.
