I knew I had it saved somewhere: Apple Watch Users Claim Workout App Is Now Worse in Every Way. Yep.
I’m used to my Apple Watch asking me if I want to record my walk as a workout if it detects a certain distance. That’s fine. What I don’t like is having it nag me over and over to record my walk. I need to mute it, which means finding the Mute button, which means taking off my glove on one hand and pulling up my sleeve with the other.
When I actually want to track a workout, it keeps nagging me to pause it if I stand too long. This can happen when I wait at a traffic light or when I tie my shoes. It also happens at home, when I work out and take breaks between sets, I often do something else as well - watering the plants, cleaning up some trash, etc.
Why? What’s the rush? There is an option to turn off resume reminders; maybe this will be it, but why is it on by default? Do people need to be reminded to keep walking somewhere? If I do two sets instead of three, it’s because I choose to stop; I don’t need to be nagged to continue, and if there’s a traffic light in the way, well, I don’t want to get run over, OK? yeesh.
