    Hi

     

    Exposing Apple Watch Series 2 to water (within Apple's usage guidelines) without first engaging Water Lock will not break it.

     

    The watch remains water resistant. If you forget - or don't have an opportunity - to engage Water Lock before the watch is exposed to water, then, to expel any water from the speaker afterwards:

     

    • Swipe up from the bottom of the watch face to open Control Center > tap on Water Lock.
    • Turn the Digital Crown to unlock the screen again and clear any water from inside the speaker.
