Removal of lock workout option in WatchOS 10

The Lock (water drop) option appears to have been removed from the Fitness app’s workout options in WatchOS 10.


Seems like it’s automated for swimming, but I used it for other workout types where the screen and button often gets knocked e.g. boxing where gloves cover the watch.


Any ideas how to restore the option aside from boxing underwater??

It *is* removed, it used to be part of the workout side screen where you can pause the workout etc. Now it's only available via the separate control center. Nonsensical change, now the side screen has only 3 buttons and bottom right 25% of the screen left empty and unused.
