Editing workouts.

Hi all.

If I go into workouts, I see them,e.g. elliptical, outdoor
running,and so on. Support says there's a button to edit, but I don't see that. However if I swipe down, e.g. on elliptical, I get to show more workouts. If I tap that, I see settings for 30 minutes, 100 calories, and a create workout button.

Are those the defaults? I have no idea what the elliptical workout is set to. A half hour would be fine for me, which is why I'm
wondering. What's the process for finding default settings for a workout, and possibly editing them?

So I went into my own elliptical workout section to see what mine said under "show workouts." 30 minutes does appear to be the default. Once you go through the time and heart rate and all that, there's something that says preferences. I just glanced at it, I didn't mess with everything, but that seems to be where you can edit that particular workout if you want to change the time. I'm not really sure what exactly 30 minutes means, maybe that's if you're changing the goal, I always just start and stop my workouts manually.

Hope this is helpful. This isn't a setting I've ever looked into in depth so this was interesting to look at.

You mean in the watch app on the phone? Or can you do it right from the watch?

Thanks BTW! I don't actually need to edit it, since I usually do thirty minutes. But it's nice to know how to, because I'm sure I'll up the time as I get in better shape. Plus if that wasn't the
default, I would have had to edit it, naturally.

So sorry for the delay, forgot to check this.

You can do it on the watch itself.
