apple watch is stuck on Turn Digital Crown to unlock and eject water. how do i unlock it?

Hi

To turn off Water Lock, keep turning the Digital Crown (the round button) until the water droplet fills the circle and your Apple Watch states Unlocked (you may also hear the speaker make sounds).

If you experience any difficulties with doing so, then it may help to turn the Digital Crown more quickly:

• About Apple Watch water resistance - Apple Support
• A quick look at Apple Watch
• Go for a swim

never mind... Manually clear water after swimming. Swipe up from the bottom of the watch face to open Control Center, tap ,then turn the Digital Crown to unlock the screen and clear water from the speaker.

Work out with your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Hey Guys, I'm trying to figure out why do we have this function? 😕

When I lock my watch during workouts it sometimes gets so locked that turning the digital crown will not release and unlock it. Why does this happen and how do I prevent that? I have to lock my watch during boxing and pushups or it will keep hitting buttons and lose my workout.

If your Apple Watch is unresponsive, you should force restart it: Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Note that you should only force restart your Apple Watch if it cannot be restarted normally:

Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Thank you! This was extremely helpful and worked.

You're welcome! 🙂

My watch is stuck a Digital Crown

This is the easiest and quickest solution. Great

One thing to add to Jonathan UK's response is you need to slowly turn the crown to fill the circle. If you keep turning the crown too fast it won't fill the entire circle.
