It’s been long enough that I feel confident in saying the information artchitecture on the watchOS 26 workouts app is garbage.

Nothing is where I want nor expect it to be.

@caseyliss things are harder to find, I can’t figure out how to remove or hide workouts that I will never use, I *just* figured out how to silence the splits announcement, and they seemingly make it impossible to disable accidental segment taps other than turning on water lock. maddening.
@lousyhat Care to share how you silenced the split announcements? I’ve been looking for it, but apparently in the wrong places.

@ilkkav on the watch, I went into the workouts, scrolled to find my Outdoor Walking workout, then tapped on the little bell in the lower-right corner. In there, I turned off Workout Buddy then tapped on "Splits 1.00 mi." There is a toggle there labeled "Splits Alert" that I turned off

tbf, I found it after my exercise this morning so I can't be 100% sure that it does what I think it does, but it now says "Splits None" instead of "1.00 mi." Apologies if I turn out to be incorrect on what it does

@lousyhat Thanks! I'll give it a try tomorrow. I hope the choice sticks so that you don't have to do it separately for each workout. Life is better when the announcement won't interrupt my podcast 🙂
@ilkkav my guess is that you might have to do it for each workout type that you do regularly, but maybe it'll be less dumb than that!
@lousyhat I can live with doing it once per type, but each individual workout would be too much.
@ilkkav yeah I believe if you turn it off for the type then it seems like it should keep it off for that type (hopefully)
@lousyhat Yep, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that.
@lousyhat you can actually edit the whole thing (swipe delete ones you don’t use) and add custom ones in the fitness app in iOS 26. But on the watch yes it’s a chore.
@Finin thanks! yeah I eventually got there but there were definitely a couple hours of befuddlement while I tried to decipher the steps to take.
