I started using the app and smartwatch 6 to record my workout session and here are the topics:

Feedback:

  • In the app you can create an exercise but can't edit; 
  • In the app you can add the same exercise multiple times in a rotine but can't edit the name (like you're doing a variantion of a squat) and you want the watch 6 to count for you automatcally. (you can edit the name after you are done with your training;
  • In the app you can create a exercise but can't copy one to create a variantion and being able to use the smart counter and continues the workout without needing to tell the watch you're done. 

Feature request: 

  • You can record the moviment and reps to teach the watch how to track and then create the personalized training OR you can create a exercise by duplicating a existing one because it's a variantion.

You can add a new exercise and call it squat variation1 or whatever you want to call it and then add it to your workout routine. I don't think the will ever come out with the function to count reps for you, you still have to count your own. Seems like a simple functionality to add since, if you swim, it counts strokes. I can't think of a reason I would ever need a stroke count. Because it's a watch and can only measure arm movements, it will never be able to do rep counts for a) the arm not wearing the watch (for single arm exercises) or b) leg and hip movements.

Hi @realaud. Thanks for the comment. 

I'm aware of the rotine creation, I'm using it and have the feeling that's missing features that are easy to add, as you mention. I want the counter so I don't have to keep interecting with the app every single exercise I do. Of course we will have limitations and I'll have to count myself. Maybe a fix using gesture.

I would appreciate if developers could AT LEAST make the name of the exercise editable after I add in the rotine so I don't need to change everytime I finish my workout. (example: I added squat 4 times and did variantions, it worked just fine but I want to have the correct history)

I read your original post and I know that you are making a routine.  My comment was that you can, indeed, create a new *exercise* and give it whatever name you want and then add the newly named exercise to your routine.  There are thousands of exercises and Samsung cannot possibly add every single one to the app, which is why they give you the ability to add your own.
