Not sure if this is what you want to know, as I'm still pretty much a noob as it's my first Apple Watch.

Before:

How do I turn off crown to unlock and eject water?
How to turn off Water Lock and eject water. Turn the Digital Crown on the side of your Apple Watch until the display says Unlocked. You can rotate the Digital Crown in either direction. A series of tones plays to clear any water that remains in the speaker, and then you can use your display as usual. 23 Apr 2020



After:

To deactivate Water Lock on watches running watchOS 9, press and hold the Digital Crown until the screen unlocks and water is forced out of the speaker of the watch. Once it is turned off, the display of the watch should respond to taps and swipes once again.

I just tried the press-and-hold to eject water from the speaker (if any), and it worked like it used to when I'd to turn the crown...

yes, it's working working with press and hold, but I prefer just turn the digital crown haha,,, I guess no way to change to just turn the digital crown to unlock now :)

Anyone cracked the back of the watch and got repaired by Apple post warranty? I dropped my watch and the back of the watch cracked. For now the functionality are all still working fine but am wondering if I should go Apple Store to repair cause if I wear during sports the sweat might seep through the cracks and cause more damage.

checked with Apple online they are unable to give me an estimated cost. Does anyone know if it’s worth to get it repaired?

If Apple doesn't charge to do the evaluation before giving you a quote, you might want to check with them first before deciding if you want to buy a new AW instead?

I’m thinking of buying a second hand AW7 to pair with my IP7+ running iOS 15.7.9. Assuming the AW7 battery life is still around 90%, would it last another 2 years?

I have not owned any AW or fitness trackers before and if AW fits my usage patterns, then I’ll consider getting a new one together with IP16 or maybe IP17 if my IP7+ can still work for another 2 years.
