adding a workout after the fact

[Diane1951]

I just upgraded to a Versa 2 from an alta hr, hoping to be able to get better information, not less!  I manually add my workout when I'm finished--always worked fine with alta hr.  My heart rate, steps, calories burned, etc, would be calculated and recorded.  Now, with Versa2, I am not able to get this data.  I am so disappointed!  I have read through the help logs, and the help notes to no avail.  Should I return this watch and stick with alta hr???

Welcome to the forums!

This is a known Issue for iOS. Follow this thread for updates

But why not use your device and record it? You can have up to 7 shortcuts that  can be listed on your device.

How to customize exercise modes

Once it sync's they will show on your device and then all you need to do is scroll to the exercise screen select the one you want. Hold the Button down to start then  hold in again when done to stop it

I have Workout Mode also on mine for exercises not listed. Then I can rename to what I want once it syncs. You might have top set up some custom ones and you can find that at the bottom of the exercise tab

Thanks for the response. I hope they fix this issue soon.

I find it very annoying to have to remember to turn on the exercise feature
just as I begin working out and they turn it off exactly when I stop. I
liked the way my Alta hr would track my vitals and fill in the data when I
entered the time and description of my workout. I hope it will at least
record my walks without having to turn on the exercise feature or enter
the data.

Plus I paid $100 dollars more for the Versa than I did for the Alta! Seems
preposterous that it can’t do this basic function.
