Casey LissIt’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.
Lousy Hat@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.
Ilkka Viinikanoja@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.
