Just in time for the new watches to arrive tomorrow…
There have been complaints about battery life, and, hopefully, they removed the “are you sure?” When ending a workout, that is the dumbest “feature” ever

I’m the one person happy about this feature because I’m an idiot who keeps pressing “end” instead of “pause” and can’t undo it.

But even I agree the better way to do it would be to add a “resume workout” button on the post workout screen…

Does it fix a bug of my Watch Series 6 conveniently staying at 80% battery health for more than half a year so I cannot cancel AppleCare+? Would be great!
