I agree that would be ideal, but since VO depends on touch gestures, which do not work when fingers or watch is wet, I don't see that happening anytime soon. But a good request to submit to Apple. Richard, USA —— "While striving for perfection, let us do what is possible." — John Wesley

A sighted person can still see some information when the watch is in waterlock and I would expect that even with waterlock is turned on Voiceover would still read whatever a sighted person sees on the screen, specifically basic information about your workout. -Original Message- From:

"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

I'll add that, to my surprise, locking the screen makes a huge difference. I had to replace my 12 mini's battery and, since then, I've forced myself to lock the screen, although it is a hassle, sometimes, to convince face ID to open it and I often have to enter my code manually, but it has
