Do I need to press a button on the latest models before I jump into pool/lake/ocean or can I just jump in? Previous watches, I had to press the button, and always forgot. Damaged 2 watches before switching to another brand.
No.
The Apple Watch is always water resistant. The "Water" mode disables the touch screen so you do not accidentally "Butt Dial" or activate any other actions on the Apple Watch from water splashing on it.
