Thanks for the tip. I have a Series 0 so I don't have that, but we will be getting the Series 4 this autumn so I will try it then! How do you even activate water lock on the newer devices? Control center?You and your wife, when dealing with little kids could turn on Water Lock. That will make it so any input on the screen will not work so the little ones she takes care of at work will not be able to activate anything on her watch, and also your son will not be able to activate anything on your watch, though holding down the side button will still activate SOS.
I use it when I am watching my cousins twins, who love to crawl all over me and also have a fascination with my Apple Watch, kind of like your son and I am sure like the kids your wife takes care of at Daycare.
I know it is not the official use case for Water Lock but it is a pretty simple work around to make any input to the screen not register on your Apple Watch. Hope this helped you in some way. Give it a try, and let me know how it goes, good luck!

A Walkie-Talkie is in a sense a phone call (often a group call) that is muted by default and only becomes unmuted while you press a button.Why not just phone the person....
Yep, Control Center. Just swipe up from the bottom and hit the icon that looks like a water drop. Then to get out of Water Lock, you just turn the Digital Crown a few times and you will hear the noise that blows the water out of the speaker after swimming and that is it.
Hope it works for you when you get your new Apple Watches!
If you don't mind carrying around another (by today's standards) large device with you, sure.
Health is tricky, legally.
Apple knows the tech to create one, but Apple is tip-toeing slowly on this because if, for example, they invent a band that monitors blood-glucose levels and it works great... it improves thousands of lives and saves hundreds of lives... all it takes is one bug where one person is monitored incorrectly for a few minutes which causes them to be hospitalized... Apple will be sued for millions.
Thanks! Hopefully they don't spin the crown. I think they're typically preoccupied with the colors on the display but if those don't work they might go after the crown. Not sure how well that would work for my wife keeping that on all day though as it kinda defeats the purpose of having the watch. My son doesn't always go after the watch so it will be great to activate when he gets an itch to play with it. The S0 life is rough in 2018. I got a low battery warning at 8pm last night and I hadn't even done an exercise and even had a late start not putting it on until 8am. I'm thinking about getting a spare charger for work but I'll probably just slog through until September. I haven't looked forward to upgrading an Apple device this much since going from my buggy, huge iPhone 6 Plus to the smaller, less buggy with more RAM iPhone 6s.Yep, Control Center.

Wow i didn't even know i had this on my AWS3 just tried it just now and WOWZA!! Worked like a charm! That's amazing!! So when you're swimming or in water it prevents the watch from getting doused and becoming unresponsive??
Well, your Apple Watch S3 is waterproof, but turning on Water Lock makes it so water cannot make a false "touch" on your screen as well as when you turn the Digital Crown and it makes that noise, it blows out water from the speaker. Pretty great engineering on Apples part!
Here is a snippet from Apples Support Page:
"When you start a swimming workout, your Apple Watch automatically locks the screen with Water Lock to avoid accidental taps. When you're done, turn the Digital Crown to unlock the screen and clear any water from your Apple Watch. You hear sounds and may feel some water on your wrist.
To manually clear water from Apple Watch, swipe up on the bottom of the watch face to open Control Center, tap Water Lock, then turn the Digital Crown to unlock the screen and clear water from the speaker."
