Permanently Disable automatic water lock feature on apple watch 3

I bought an apple watch 3 to manage music during warer aerobics. However, the automatic water lock feature disables the screen So i cannot adjust the volume without manually disabling the water lock. Is there any way to permanently disable this feature?

Apple Watch Series 3, iOS 12

There is no provision to disable water lock in the current software. You can submit it as a wishlist entry at https://www.apple.com/feedback/watch.html

The same thing happened to me. I have no idea why. I went to disable DND and the watch would not let me swipe up . Then I tried to reboot my watch to unlock it, and instead of powering off it sent an emergency alert. Who at Apple thought that this was a good design? I should always have full control of my watch. And long pressing the side button should always bring me the same menu.


I'll submit helpful feedback using the helpful link the other person posted. I encourage others who encountered this issue to do the same.
