broke exercise shortcut feature

[Bellabz]

Exercise shortcuts on Inspire 3 show all 36 exercises, not just the shortcuts selected in the app.

How can I undo the firmware update? 

I HATE THIS!

Hello @Bellabz and welcome to the Community.  A recent firmware update moved all the exercise shortcuts to the Exercise app on the Inspire 3.  This is intentional.  It also added shortcuts that weren't on the Inspire 3 when it was released.  Now that all the shortcuts are on the device, your list will self-separate into your recently used shortcuts and all the rest.  We can't undo this.

Horrible change. Use focus groups sometimes.

After the latest update: On my Inspire 3, I see my two shortcuts I set in the phone app. There's a third icon on the device (after showing my two shortcuts) called More. Only when I tap on it, I see the rest of the Olympic games I care less about. 
If I tapped the More icon and regretted it, I just touched both sides of the device to turn off the screen. When I turn it on again, it shows only my two shortcuts, with the More icon, but without the whole list.

Seems like this is the same issue I posted about under "Bring back exercise shortcuts on Inspire 3" and should be combined in the hopes of garnering enough votes to fix it. Thank you!

I was better the way it was, Let vote to bring it back...

Let me count the ways I hate this *removal of a feature* that I relied on. 

1. The Walk icon looks exactly like the Run icon, and is the same color. I'm visually impaired and rely on color/visual differences in order to use products with teeny tiny text that I can't read. 

2. The Run comes on automatically, even when it's not what I'm doing. The result is that Run is now top of my list, and I can't tell it apart from Walk. So the next time I try to choose an exercise, it's RUN when I *never ever want to see Run in my list at all.* 

3. The app used to let me choose NOT to "detect exercise automatically." Now that feature is no longer working, and exercise is detected automatically even through I don't want automatic detection. 

4. You removed a feature that I relied on, and didn't tell me it would be removed. "Feature updates" is what you promised when you told me to upgrade my firmware -- not feature removal.

This is not my experience. I see ALL exercise shortcuts on my wrist, even though prior to the update I had only 1 visible.

This has thrown me too, and messed up my last two run timings. In the app it still shows my ‘chosen’ shortcuts rather than the huge list. The watch itself seems to completely override these app settings though - I wanted to do two ten minute intervals but the Interval choice on the watch just completely ignored this and wanted to do 28 twenty-second intervals instead.

I do not understand. I do ONE exercise regularly - pilates. I have chosen this as my first in my list of shortcuts in the app. But my Inspire 3 no longer shows this as a choice without me scrolling to a deeper menu. I used to flick to the exercise screen on the watch, and my first choice of "pilates" was right there on the screen. I do not want to scroll through the watch long menu to find it every time and I don't have my phone with me during classes. The only exercise that I use on the watch is pilates and my app has tons of data tracked on this exercise for me. How can I get this one shortcut back on the watch??

@klhrabosky   After you use a shortcut, the Exercise app will separate into Recents and everything else.  The last one you use is always at the top.

So you're saying I have to now scroll through 35 exercise icons on my
Inspire to pick what to use. Then after that first time using that choice
(since the software update), the Inspire will remember that as my first
choice going forward?

The Fitbit app on my phone already has my preferred exercise shortcuts
chosen. Why won't the Fitbit device match what I chose for it in the app?

This isn't how it is working for me. My Inspire 3 always shows the full list of shortcuts. All 35 of those.

Same here - even though I choose yoga and workout each time since the update, my Inspire 3 always shows the full list of shortcuts. All 35 of those. Is there a place we can reset our preferences withOUT having to scroll thru 35 options? Thank you.
