Follow the instructions for clearing the Water out of your speakers as outlined in the Apple support article I shared below.


How to use Water Lock and eject water from your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Please note the Water Lock only disables the touch screen on the Apple Watch. Water Lock does not prevent water from entering speaker grills and other openings such as barometer pressure opening.

The Apple Watch is ALWAYS water resistant. Water lock just prevents accidental activation or canceling of services on the Apple Watch. So, in your case, you do not accidentally call someone that would find it offense it hear you singing in the shower 😁🎶


Be aware, DO NOT get soap or other solvents on your Apple Watch, as that will destroy the water seals, and let water into your Apple Watch.
