I understood that the idea is you cannot use the watch while wet, which is why you have to use the water lock plus it prevents damage to watch. Drying it off before turning off water lock is important. I'll be surprised if that is any different in the 9. No one knows what the redesign for the x

"the screen acting up a bit" is an understatement. I find the watch is quite useless when water lock is turned on, I also have a fifth generation Apple Watch and I wear it when doing pool swims which is good, but if I loose track of my number of laps and I want to check I so far have not found
