Summer is in full swing and with it so are water activities. Whether it's swimming, visiting a water park or going down a river, no matter how wild, it's a good idea to lock your watch against accidental touches and at the same time to expel water from it after the water fun. That's why it's important to know how to water lock a watch Galaxy Watch4.
Just before swimming or exercising in water, it is advisable to activate on the watch Galaxy Watch4 to Watch4 Classic Water Castle mode. Water drops on the display inform you that it is activated. There are two ways to do this.

Deactivating the water lock on Galaxy Watch4
Because the water lock locks the touchscreen's response, if you want to deactivate it, you have to do so through the Home button. It is enough to hold it for two seconds, when you can also see the time progress on the display.
After unlocking the watch, it will start making a sound to remove the water from the speaker. It's also a good idea to shake the watch to remove any water from the pressure sensor.
In this context, I remember how the sophisticated operators at Samsung support had no idea what the water resistance of the watch was, whether it could be used for swimming. They convinced me that the watch only has IP68. And if I had been persuaded, I would not have bought the watch.
I never really learned anything from support. Neither about the induction plate, nor about the extractor fan, the oven... everything I learned I could read on the web.
Relevant informace I only found out about the watch from a third party that had nothing to do with Samsung...
So now I enjoy how he advises how to use the water lock…
Not everyone knows everything and rather than the fault of the operators it was the fault of the provider informace.
The author forgot one more possibility. The moment I turn on the workout and select swimming, the water lock turns on along with the swimming.
Yes, this is an automatic activation of the function during activity. But if you just roll around in the bath, you don't want to track such activity :-).
And what about the bezel? Can she spin in the water?
Yes, you can rotate it, at the same time it shows a menu that you can go to with it. But the screen is locked, so when you click on it, nothing happens.
Great, thanks
