How To Exit Magnification Mode?

[iRun26.2]

Sometimes when my hands or Apple Watch are wet I find that my screen gets to a mode where it has everything magnified. I don’t know how I got to this mode or how to get out of it. I simply have to reset it which is annoying. Anyone know what I did or how to get out of it?

Thanks in advance!

Go to the Watch app>Accessibility >Accessibility Shortcut (all the way at the bottom) and see if you have zoom enabled there. You may be inadvertently enabling the shortcut somehow.

I have a follow up question:

Is there a way, when exercising, to get it to ignore all screen interactions (so that I can’t accidentally cause myself to get into that mode)?

Yeah, water lock mode.

I’m also a runner and have found that when I swing my arms, large droplets of sweat can trigger responses from the watch. This prevents that.

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

Turn on Water Lock to avoid unintended taps on the display when you wear your Apple Watch in water. When you get out, press and hold the Digital Crown to clear water from your watch's speaker. Here's how.
