A new feature has emerged on watchOS 10 that Apple hasn't officially announced, potentially bringing satisfaction to many Apple Watch users for their workout routines.
I am currently using watchOS 10 Beta, the version designed for developers. In this version, Apple has upgraded several features, including widgets, added new watch faces, the Mindfulness note feature, and redesigned some apps to display more information. These enhancements have been widely communicated by Apple.
Additionally, there's a fantastic improvement that Apple hasn't mentioned. Specifically, in this watchOS 10 version, after completing any exercise, the app will ask if you want to finish the workout or start a new one.
In watchOS 9, after finishing a workout, if you wanted to start a new one, you had to press finish, go back to the main screen, and choose a new exercise. (Update: Furthermore, when doing one exercise and wanting to switch to another, for example, going from weightlifting to running on a treadmill, you can swipe the screen to the side, press the + sign, select Run. No need to finish the workout and go back to the workout section to choose the next one).
After completing a workout in watchOS 10, you can immediately select New Workout to start a new exercise without the need for multiple steps as before.At that point, I can choose to do Functional Strength Training. After completing this exercise, I press on New Exercise and select Outdoor/Indoor Run. Similarly, I can choose Yoga as the cool-down session.All three exercises are performed consecutively without rest, so this new feature can help save me time in operations. Those who work out frequently will appreciate how useful it is, especially during those tired moments when you just want to tap the watch quickly.This feature is also beneficial when combining multiple exercises (for example, running, then doing push-ups and pull-ups, and continuing to run), or when engaging in some sports like duathlon (run-bike-run) or aquathlon (swim-run).
Displaying consecutive exercises separately on the iPhone, if combined into one, would create a more polished look.It's a bit regrettable that these activities, when shown in Fitness on the iPhone, are separated into individual sessions. Combining them into a unified interface might enhance the overall aesthetic.
