You can’t do anything with your watch while waterlock is on, here a statement taken directly from Apple support: “When Water Lock is on, your Apple Watch doesn't respond to touch on its display. This prevents accidental input while you're in water.” You can start music and then turn on waterlock, but from what I read the problem is that the Bluetooth connection between the watch and your waterproof headset may not be very consistant as your arm goes under water; one poster said that even just a couple of inches of water are enough to block a Bluetooth signal. When I Googled this, I did find the following website which may be a solution, but I haven’t bought this so I can’t be sure:

I was also considering getting an apple watch to use while swimming so that I could listen to music while swimming, and also to be able to tell how long I have been in the pool so that I can be sure that I get out and dressed in time to catch the bus to go back home. I planned to use some waterproof head phones to listen to the music. >From other emails in this list on this issue, I know that in order to swim >with the apple watch you have to turn on a waterlock and you have to turn this >off in order to do things with the watch like have it read the screen. >However, is it still possible to use the watch to tell time while swimming? >Also if you set up the music such as a pandora station before initiating the >water lock feature, can you listen to the music after the feature is engaged? > alternatively, is there an apple watch case or something that is waterproof >that could be used instead of the water lock feature? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
