Hi all,

I just bought an Apple Watch 7. I volunteer in a very active/physical emergency role and I was just wondering if there was a way to easily and quickly lock the watch from receiving input (Siri, screen, crown)? I was out working with water pumps last week and I kept hearing Siri say "Sorry, I didn't quite catch that"! I know you can passcode lock it but I don't want to have to use a passcode every time I put my watch on.

Thanks in advance!
 
Turning on water lock should stop input from screen and crown.

You can turn "listen for Siri" off in settings, but not sure if there's any quick way to toggle that back and forth.
 
I agree, water lock seems like what you want for the screen and crown. Is there a way to turn Siri on and off quickly with a focus or shortcut? I couldn't find anything.
If you don't use Siri much, then perhaps it won't be much of a problem just to leave it off all the time.
