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?

Something sure seems way off in your setup. There should not even be such a thing as "Indoor Other" !


Try deleting and reinstalling the Activity app from your watch. Hopefully that returns things back to normal.

If the issue remains, the next corrective action would be to unpair and re-pair the watch with your iPhone. That will restore factory settings and behaviour, while keeping your apps and data intact. You can start that from here:
