The recent Samsung Health update changed the behavior of exercise complications on Galaxy Watch. Previously, tapping the Walking complication immediately started a Walking workout. It now opens an intermediate screen requiring a second tap on Start. Please restore the previous one-tap workout start behavior, or provide an option to choose between "Start immediately" and "Open workout screen." A dedicated Walking complication already communicates the user's intent to start that specific workout, so the additional confirmation adds unnecessary interaction and makes starting a workout less convenient, particularly while already moving or when the user's hands are occupied.

It is unacceptable. I can half understand why they did it - it certainly makes changing the settings and target easier (there was nothing wrong with it in the first place), but there should never have to be a second tap to start the workout. Maybe they had complaints about accidentally tapping and starting a workout when all the user wanted to do was change the settings, or didn't know how to change the settings; even though I never believed they actually listen to user complaints. If they did, we'd get some of the stuff we've all been universally complaining about, especially as pertains to the health app.
It's like they sit around changing things just for the sake of changing things when no change is necessary, and don't change the things people want changed.
