Hold and press the crown button for 10 seconds.

Hello,
I don't think that's right as the water won't probably be ejected. According to the watch I have--a very old one a friend gave me--"Rotate the digital crown to unlock the watch and eject water," is what VoiceOver says. This is after you press the "dok" button. of course, that's meaning the side button below the crown--if worn on the left wrist, that is. I hope you get the reason why I call the side button the "dock" button as that's what it takes you too, and the watch face on a second press. a third cycles back to the dock, so ... As you rotate the crown, be sure to do this quite quickly. several short beeps will be heard--possibly much lower than I've recntly heard--helping eject the water from the speakers. They can, however, still sound if water's located in the watch ... just a bit, though. It'll be tinny, but if you've done the steps above carefully and all, VoiceOver will eventually come back to full strength--doesn't take long.
