Apple Watch series 4 “other” workout setting

It doesn’t give me the option to name my workout on the “other” workout setting when I’m done! Anyone have this issue? I would like to set it as strength training but when I end it, it just goes back to the screen of what workout do I want to do...

Cannot name workout on Apple Watch 4 series I have followed the steps to name “Other” workout and once I end the “Other” workout it goes right back to the default menu of workouts and it does not go to a screen where I can name the workout as the instructions say. Help?

No "Other" workout option on Apple Watch 6 I am trying to add other workouts (e.g. cycling, swimming) to the workout app on my Apple Watch 6 Sport (running system 7.5). However, when I go to the Workout app on the watch, the only options I have are the following: Outdoor Walk Outdoor Run Outdoor Hike Indoor Walk Indoor Run Indoor Other I don't have an "Other" option to add a new type of workout. Everything I've searched says to add a new workout by choosing "Other" but that isn't an option, and choosing "Indoor Other" doesn't give me the option to create a new type. And I've had the watch since February and I don't recall there being other options in the past. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change?

Apple Watch "other" workout name workout missing The Apple watch Series 4 no longer allows you to name your workout after you select "other" workout. It used to give an option immediately after you ended a workout. It also can not be changed via the activity app or health app on the iPhone. Is there anyway to choose a specific workout from the "other" list?

Workouts that are recorded using Other as the activity type can be named before they are saved by swiping right tapping on End scrolling to the bottom of the screen tap on Name Workout,this brings up a huge list to choose from,tap on the one you want and tap save.
