Sense doesn't save countdown timer

On the Versa / Versa 2, the countdown timer saves the last timer you set. For example, if I used a 30 second timer, the next time I went to the timer app, it was at 30 seconds.

 

The Sense doesn't seem to save the last used time. Each time I need to set a 30 second timer, I need to recreate it from 0. It was much easier on the Versa 2 as I could just hit start (assuming it was last used on the same amount of time). It looks like you can have multiple timers going at the same time on the Sense, which in theory is nice. However, I need a 30-second time multiple times a day for physical therapy and it used to be much easier to get it started. Now it takes more time and it's awkward. 

 

Am I missing something or is this something that could be added down the road?

@eezeepee-  think @ebolton  was replying to you, because without a telephone handy Google Assistant won't work, but it is a great way to set an on watch timer or alarm.

But the main point is the standard Timer on a Sense or Versa 3 has to be set up each time because it doesn't save the timer on exit, whereas SimpleTimer remembers the last active timer and where it got to, plus 4 presets.

In @ebolton 's case, using a 4 minute timer with Auto start would be the best option. When the 4 minutes are up it alerts and reshows 4 minutes again as you exit. Next time you start the App it starts counting down again from the 4 minutes immediately.

@Guy_ True. But as long as the watch and phone are connected via Bluetooth it'll work. I got a single floor 1800 square foot home and Google Assistant on the watch works everywhere if I leave my phone in the bedroom. If it's just eye drops in a bathroom that's just adjacent to the bedroom, that'll definitely work.

@eezeepee  - yes GA works well on a single floor, less good across floors, but love Google Assistant for so many things, such as home automation commands, it really makes the Sense/Versa 3.

Just upgraded from the blaze.  And not impressed with my Sense.  I countdown timer does not save the time like the old old Blaze.  And the music function on the Blaze was so simple.
