FR965 Software 23.20 navigation workout flow issue

I'm on the 24.xx beta and it seems to still work as you setout (original method).

I repeated the exact steps you mentioned and after do course I get the activity screen as you noted and not back to workouts.

Have you tried to do a full shutdown and restart (hold light in until full shutdown, then restart)

Maybe also try try a software reinstall - settings > about  Press light 8 times , select reinstall software.

Thank you for your answer. I just tried the shutdown and the issue remains.

Is there someone on 23.20 that can confirm? 

What does reinstall software do? Will I lose my settings?

Update: I didn't see your comment about holding the light switch. I just switched off. Using your method causes my emergency contacts to be notified. Is there another way of triggering the full shutdown?

You have to continue hold the LIGHT button (past the point where emergency contacts would be notified), until the watch shuts down. Yeah, I don't think this is the greatest UX either. (Obviously it's too easy to accidentally trigger emergency assistance when you meant to do a forced shutdown instead.)

Honestly, I don't think there's much difference between doing this kind of forced shutdown (sometimes referred to as a hard reset) and doing the normal shutdown through the UI (sometimes referred to as a soft reset). The main difference is that the forced shutdown will work even if the watch isn't responding (for any reason), and the forced shutdown also has the potential to lose data (where the normal shutdown should not.) This is why some people suggest syncing before you do a forced shutdown.

I'm following one of the coach-plans where activities are being scheduled in my calendar. 

When I start such an activity I'm selecting 'Workouts' and then 'Scheduled', select the activity and select 'Do Workout' with activity type 'Run'.

Not that this flow shouldn't work, but another way to do it would be:

- From the watchface, press START and select Run

- If you have a scheduled workout, you will be immediately prompted to do the workout, with a menu that has the following choices: Do Workout, View, and Dismiss

- Select Do Workout 

If you decide to dismiss the workout at this point, you won't be prompted again, but there's another way to see any scheduled workouts in the Run activity:

- From the watchface, press START and select Run

- Press UP for the menu

- Select Training

- Select Training Calendar. Here you will see any scheduled workouts for today

Btw, another way to launch scheduled workouts is to use the calendar glance. If you try this, do you have the same problems that you see with the Workouts app?

Keep holding the light in all the way till it shuts down . Don’t let go when the contact thingy comes up .

Software install just reinstall the last software doesn’t  impact data or settings . 

done both when had issues and sometimes it helps 

I've tried your suggestion. I can't do the run->scheduled since I don't have any scheduled workouts today (for some reason). But the other way does bring me back to the Run watchface.

For the other option: I have shut down the device using the light switch. As you expected that didn't fix my initial problem.

Will try the re-install and see if that helps.

Would still be interesting if someone on 23.20 has the same issue.
