Since updating my galaxy watch software, I cannot change the lap length or any settings in my Samsung Health exercise widget. You click on an exercise and it immediately counts down and starts. No ability to modify screens, or change lap length.
Made video on how to do it. Main thing is dont go to the shortcut screen for the swimming workout. Go via steps in the video. Let me know if it works for you please and share to any other places you hadn't found a solution on. I had given up looking after many efforts searching online. Hope this helps. Cheers.
swipe the watch screen from right to left until you see workout. tap the "workout" part which is highlighted. scroll to swimming and beside it is three dots to the right side of the screen. tap them and you should see the options to change pool length there. i had huge trouble finding this info but it works for me now. hope it helps
What I did that seems to work to solve that issue, is wear the watch tight around my wrist. It is not preventing circulation but tight enough not to move around my wrist at all.
It is indeed a bit rubbish. I have written to ask why we can't chose whatever pool length we like. My gym has a 15 metre pool but lowest on Samsung galaxy watch is 20 metre which means that when you do swim it assumes you're swimming really quickly and covering 20 metres in the time you do 15 metres...!! Looks great in your stats but not a true representation of your effort. The Fitbit, Tom tom and Garmin watches allow you to select the pool length you require, so not sure why Samsung doesn't allow this...poor show TBH .
On the G4 watch classic it is: click to the health app using bezel, press 'more' then being swim to the front, then click settings, then pool length, but it doesn't go below 20m.
