My galaxy watch recently got a new update and its been such an inconvenience to use after that. I am a very active person who goes to the gym often, so i have a lot of exercise routines saved (eg, Pull day, Quads) with different exercises, some exercises came with the watch and others i had to add myself.
Here are some things i find annoying
- The watch only needed one tap to start a routine, or exercise, now i have to tap twice
- It used to have voice prompts to start either the next exercise, the next set, the break between the sets and between exercises. Now i have to constantly look at it to know if the break is finished and if i should start my next set/exercise. It still does this for some exercises that came with added but even then itll just prompt that thats the next exercise but wont prompt for next set or break.
- Cardio exercises like stepmaster and treadmill running used to prompt when halfway and 90% through, now theres nothing.
-When on the treadmill, i see all these unnecessary metrics like candance and pace(which is still speed) but i would rather just see speed(in km/h not these inches/feet) and heartrate. its just messy with too much going on on the screen
is there a way to go back to a previous update because this is really inconveniencing my life,what where these developers thinking? do they even use these apps themselves?

No. We don't. We can yell and scream publicly roast until someone hopefully listens. I was a product manager, and the job is to make things easier, not harder for the users. Whoever was PM on this particular release should be held accountable and change things back
