How to use Water Lock and eject water from your Apple Watch - Apple Support


The water drop moved, along with Control Center from a swipe up to a quick press and release of the flat oval side button (see picture)

Use Control Center on Apple Watch - Apple Support


DO NOT hold the button, as that brings up the Emergency services display.


Settings -> Accessibility -> Side Button Click Speed


“Side Button Click Speed” can adjust the press and release timing, so you get the Control Center display every time. Adjusting The “Side Button Click Speed” is also useful for Apple Pay’s double press and release. There is “Default” (sub second timing of needed), “Slow” (up to a second between press and release), and “Slowest” (up to 2 seconds between press and release). I like the “Slow” setting.


NOTE: Slow and Slowest settings do not mean you have to wait a full second or 2 seconds between press and release. It just means you do not need to be super fast.

Apple Watch with watchOS 10.2 doesn't have a water eject icon anymore, but it still removes water. Swipe up from the bottom of the watch face to open Control Center, find the water lock icon (droplet with a lock), and tap it to turn on. This will vibrate to push out water from the speaker. Then, swipe down from the top to close Control Center and dry your watch with a soft cloth.
