this is how to disable touch screen on Apple Watch Ultra WITHOUT water lock.... I think I've solved it
hi all- here's how I lock my screen EASILY without having to use the annoying water lock feature! BUT it only works on the ultras as far as I know.
first- on your phone- go to your accessibility menu in the watch app.
set touch accommodations to on
set hold duration about 1.5 seconds
set swipe gestures to off
go to your action button settings
select accessibility
set accessibility feature to touch accommodations
now all you need to do to disable the screen and avoid annoying accidental swipes is press the action button, to turn the touch screen on and (sort of) off. but you STILL have access to the screen by pressing it for 1.5 seconds, this pretty much stops all annoying accidental swipes. set time however long you need. when you need the screen just press the button.
let me know if this works. having the screen constantly switching was driving me nuts lol.
good luck!
Paul.
