I’m using the new OS 4.1 update and mostly like it; the customizable stats are very nice. 

However one thing I miss is using the lower right button to start an exercise; I used to be able to select via the touch screen and press the button to start, but now I have to use the touch screen. (Particularly annoying for the GPS activities where I’ve been waiting for signal acquisition.)
I CAN still use the hard button to stop recording which is a relief. 


is this not starting exercises with the hard button intentional or an omission?

I found the same issue but you can now assign an exercise to the left button via setup. The only "issue" with this is that it starts to record almost immediately.... this probably means I'll have recorded 2 20 second swims whilst sitting at my desk seeing how the new button arrangement worked.
