Strength App

I’d like to report a recurring bug in the Garmin Strength app/workout builder that has been present for the last several software updates.

When creating or editing a strength workout and setting a timed rest interval, the rest duration does not save or display correctly unless you use a specific workaround.

To reproduce the issue:

  1. Add or edit a step that is set to “Rest.”
  2. Attempt to set the desired rest duration.
  3. The duration will not configure correctly.
  4. Change the step Type from “Rest” to another option.
  5. Change the Type back to “Rest.”
  6. After doing this, the desired rest duration can be entered and is displayed correctly.

Essentially, every time I want to configure a rest interval, I have to deselect “Rest,” select another type, and then reselect “Rest” before the timer functions correctly.

This has persisted through multiple recent updates and makes building or modifying strength workouts unnecessarily cumbersome. Please have the development team investigate the way the Rest type initializes or handles duration values when a workout step is created or edited.
