Using Apple Watch Water Lock

Turning Water Lock On & Off

On the water, water droplets can interfere with the Watch screen so by default Paddle Logger will engage the Water Lock when your session starts and you lower your wrist. To switch Water Lock off, long press the digital crown*. A sound will be emitted from the speaker to clear out the water and you will then be able to use your Watch.

*WatchOS8 and earlier rotate the digital crown

If you want to quickly pause your trip without disabling Water Lock, press the Digital Crown and Side button at the same time.

Disable Water Lock

Here's how to disable the Water Lock feature in Paddle Logger:

• From the "GO" screen on the Paddle Logger Apple Watch app, swipe from right to left
• Scroll down, you will see a toggle to turn Water Lock off - this switches off Apple's Water Lock and the screen will always be active

If you choose to turn the water lock off, we would recommend rinsing the watch in fresh water and clearing out the speaker of your watch to avoid corrosion damage.
