Workout app in watchOS 10/11 became less user-friendly – missing features?

Hi everyone,

I noticed that since watchOS 10/11 the Workout app has changed in a way that feels less user-friendly compared to previous versions, and I want to check if others are experiencing the same issue.

The old Workout app had several helpful features:

• A clear workout list

• Workouts sorted by “recently used” or “frequently used”

• The ability to quickly start specific workouts

• Options to favorite or pin certain workout types

• Complications that linked directly to individual workouts

In watchOS 10/11, many of these functions seem to be removed:

• The workout list is only visible while swiping

• There is no “recently used” section anymore

• No way to favorite or rearrange workouts

• No complications for specific workout types

• The UI automatically opens a workout instead of showing the overview

The new design looks modern, but it’s much slower and less practical when trying to start the workouts I use most often. It feels like a step backward in terms of usability.

Is anyone else missing these features?

And does anyone know if Apple plans to bring them back?

Thanks!
