watchOS and Apple Watch Apps

Hi. I have an issue with the workout app on my apple watch. in setting goals for my run or work, I can only change by increments of 5 minutes so cannot set goal of (say) 37 minutes for 5km run, can only set it at 35, 40 minutes etc. is there any setting I need to change or is this an accessibility issue?

You can use the Digital Crown to change the time in one minutes instead of 5 minutes

thanks for the suggestion I've just tried it. it doesn't change the value, instead it cycles through the options e.g. start back etc. Do I need to change something in settings for the digital crown to work in the way you suggest?

So the fix is the digital crown and thanks both for your suggestions. Toggling digital crown navigation to 'off' meant that I could use the digital crown to change by single minutes, rather than 5 minutes, as with the one finger swipe up and down, when setting the time goal for the run on apple watch. So many thanks again.
