Custom exercise name for Workouts

The 5+ year struggle continues but a simply solution I proposed on the ideas forum I hope they see.

Worth a few thumbs up here perhaps?

When creating a Custom Workout:

Step Type = "Go" or "Other"
Have a free text field under that called "NAME"
- could display as the exercise type on your device
Add REP to "Duration Type"
Everything else remains the same

I want to create squash specific workouts that revolve around fitness and movement but the Workouts ecosystem doesn't really work for that.

This could be a simple work around, albeit a bit of admin, but it will work.

I believe we already have that.

The Notes field is the free text field. Write the exercise and the number of reps to do. The watch will show that text when you start that step and can be displayed again by pressing the down button.

Reps can't be used since the watch can't count reps when it doesn't know what type of exercise it is. Use Lap button press to advance to the next step when you have done the reps written in the note.

If you want the watch to count reps you must create a Strength, HIIT or Cardio workout. Then you will also get the Reps duration.
