Is it water locked? The Water Lock icon  appears at the top of the watch face.

Turn the crown in any direction - keep turning until it clears. WatchOS 9 requires you to press the crown . The crown is the large button on the side, top right as shown in the image below.


 

How to turn off Water Lock and eject water

Press and hold* the Digital Crown on the side of your Apple Watch until the display says Unlocked. A series of tones plays to clear any water that remains in the speaker, and then you can use your display as usual.

* If your Apple Watch has watchOS 8 or earlier, rotate the Digital Crown instead of pressing it.
