Hi
Under the current version of watchOS, with Wrist Detection turned on, it is not possible to manually lock Apple Watch such that the passcode needs to be entered to unlock it again. Your watch will instead lock automatically upon being removed from your wrist.
On Series 3 models, in Control Centre, Water Lock can be turned on by tapping on the water droplet button. This locks the screen and buttons to prevent accidental interactions with them. The feature is intended to be used during exposure to water, but it can also be used at other times. Turn the Digital Crown to turn off Water Lock.
If you would like to submit a feature request to Apple for any other kind of locking feature, then you can do so here:
