how can I lock my device manually without taking it off my wrist? There used to be an option to slide to lock if you press and held the power button. That's no longer there so how can I lock it. It's pretty dumb if the only way to lock the device is to take it off.
Got a tip for us?

Don't think this is what the OP is asking. You are referring to the water lock and the OP wants to (for some reason) lock their
Watch and still wear it.OP there isn't a way to fully lock the
Watch while wearing it that I'm aware of. Apple replaced it with SOS. I guess that it seems like a unneeded/unused feature. Under what conditions do you want or feel the need to have your Watch locked and on your wrist?

Basic lock would be nice if you sleep with your watch. Water lock isn't very practical when you wake up before rest of the family.

>>OP is referring to a full lock since they state removing/lock as a reference.<<
Oops. Yes, you're right.

It's disappeared since the last update.....you were able to swipe up and select from there. Now it's gone
If you turn off the Wrist Detection in General Settings it will reappear. In the mean time, if you like Wrist Detection so it will lock when you remove it and don't inadvertently leave it unlocked, use the water drop to lock the screen.
Ugh, you're right. Only works on Series 2. Okay, how about this.......temporarily remove the watch from your wrist so it locks. It will stay that way until you unlock it. That's the only thing I can come up with at this point.
