Apple Watch - Open Goal for Run not available

Open goal is no longer available for a run. It is somehow set for 18 mins and I can not change it. It shuts off after 18 mins when running. Open goal is available for all other exercise options.

How to set Workout all Outdoor Walk to default to "Open" Apple watch series 3 I cannot change the default workout goal on outdoor walk to open. Default is now 16 minutes. I want it to set it to "open" so that when I select Outdoor Walk I don't have to manually select "Open" each time. The three dots method will work for a single workout but the next day I have to go select them again and select Open workout type again. No matter what I do it defaults to 16:00. Help, this is very annoying. Btw, I've already reset the watch multiple times to try to solve this. Thanks.

Apple Watch Ultra: workout app weird bug - cannot set upper limit for pace range When trying to select a pace range in the Workout app in the Apple Watch Ultra, it only allows me to do so in the "Lower limit". When I select "Upper Limit", the options are blank. The curious thing is that this worked before, but now it is stuck like that. I have tried rebooting the watch, removing the pace range, trying to create a different, custom workout but nothing works. I did not try unpair/resetting the watch given the hassle of redownloading music etc. - any ideas?

To get it back you need to Unpair your Watch and repair your watch. It will then reappear
