One UI 6 watch update: active workout screens MUCH harder to reopen

Once a workout is started and the watch has gone to sleep, you used to be able to reopen that workout quickly from the home screen with a single click of the active workout icon.

That icon no longer defaults to the active workout so NOW you have to click and scroll through several more screens to try to find and reopen the specific kind of workout activity that is still running in the background somewhere.  That sucks!  This is totally impractical if you're in the MIDDLE of a workout.  Maybe it's manageable if you're going for a slow walk but there's no way this will work if you're doing any kind of fast paced or interval training where you don't have time to stop and screw around with your watch for thirty seconds to find the workout screen every time the watch face goes to sleep. 

I call this update a fail from a workout perspective, which is the ONLY reason I have the watch. šŸ˜

Until they fix this, on the watch, swipe up from the bottom to get to the apps screen.  Tap on the "recent apps screen" and select the open workout (it should be the first item). That should be a shorter route than the one you are taking.
