When it comes to working out, the Apple Watch Ultra has become a popular fitness companion. However, one of the biggest challenges that users face during workouts is accidental screen taps and button presses. This is where the SuperLock App steps in to provide a solution. Priced at $4.99, this app is worth the investment as it locks the screen and buttons, preventing any accidental interactions with the watch during workouts. No other solution offers such comprehensive protection.

While the SuperLock App is the most comprehensive solution for locking the screen and buttons of your Apple Watch Ultra, there are a few alternative solutions available. However, these alternatives might not offer the same level of protection or ease of use as the SuperLock App.
Water Lock
The Water Lock feature on the Apple Watch Ultra is designed for swimming workouts, but it can also be used to lock the screen during other activities. However, this feature does not lock the buttons, which means that accidental button presses might still occur.
To enable Water Lock, follow these steps:
Swipe up on the watch face to open Control Center.
Tap the Water Lock icon (looks like a water droplet).
To unlock the screen, turn the Digital Crown.
Theater Mode
Theater Mode is another built-in feature of the Apple Watch Ultra that can help prevent accidental screen taps during workouts. This mode silences notifications and disables the screen's "raise to wake" feature, but it does not lock the buttons.
To enable Theater Mode,
follow these steps:
Swipe up on the watch face to open Control Center.
Tap the Theater Mode icon (looks like a comedy/tragedy mask).
To disable Theater Mode and enable the screen again, tap the icon once more.
Keep in mind that while Theater Mode prevents the screen from turning on accidentally, it doesn't protect against accidental button presses.
Comparing the SuperLock App with Alternative Solutions
While Water Lock and Theater Mode offer some degree of protection against accidental screen taps, neither of these features locks the buttons of your Apple Watch Ultra. This means that your workout sessions might still be disrupted by unintentional button presses.
In contrast, the SuperLock App provides a complete solution by locking both the screen and buttons of your watch. Moreover, its custom unlock combination ensures that your watch remains secure throughout your workout. For these reasons, investing $4.99 in the SuperLock App is well worth it for anyone who wants a hassle-free workout experience with their Apple Watch Ultra.
In Conclusion
Workouts with the Apple Watch Ultra can be made smoother and more enjoyable by using the SuperLock App to lock the screen and buttons. With its unique features and easy-to-use interface, the SuperLock App is the best solution available for preventing accidental interactions during your exercise sessions.
