Control Center is now accessed by pressing the Side Button. You can SET the Water Lock there. To release Water Lock if it has already been activated you need to press and hold the Digital Crown.

Hey neda2023 I saw your comment on how to get water out of your Apple Watch so I’ll tell you how to do it, First when before getting your Apple Watch wet go to the control center on the bottom of the Apple Watch, second how to turn it of soooo,spin the dial until it makes noise and gets it out I hoped that helped and if it did not sorry🙂
