What happened to the single metric workout view option?!?
Updated to WatchOS 8 and it appears that the option to change the workout view from multi metric to single metric is no longer available. Is this correct???

Definitely not the same thing. The single metric view just showed one metric on the screen BUT you could scroll through all the metrics that you have included using the digital crown. Currently, if i select "do not include" as you suggest just to see one metric, i can no longer use the digital crown to scroll through and see the others. I still want to see the other metrics, but at a quick glance.
It seems someone at Apple doesn't wear glasses. I wear glasses but prefer not to when I am working out. The single metric enabled me to see my workout time, distance (if I was running), and heart rate. Now, No chance.
I have the exact same issue and wish Apple would bring back the single metric view with option to move screen to different views as needed. I don’t like to always see the miles as I’m running but want to be able to check it when desired. Now it’s an either/or situation. Please bring back the old views!!
Agree. Plus, not all of the workout types are modifiable.
There was an app called Workouts++ that allowed for custom workout screens, it was brilliant. The developer let it die, sadly.
Glad to know that i'm not the only one with this issue. Fingers crossed it is just a glitch and it comes back with updates. Don't bother calling Apple support. Spent entirely too long trying to explain what was wrong and the person kept telling me how to update my OS even when i told him he was not listening to me and i had ALREADY updated to the current OS which resulted in this issue. Then it got escalated and during the transfer i was disconnected. Apple should do better with the amount of money we spend on these **** products.
i can’t drag heart rate into the do not include section. I, too, would like to have the single metric and be able to scroll to another if desired, but what’s really annoying is the pool swim workout. Not only does it force me to include the heart rate, which I don’t want, the metrics are tiny. I’m trying to take a quick look at my time, under water and through goggles, I need the time to be as large as possible so I can see it easily.
it would be really great if you could set either multiple metrics or single metrics for individual workouts. I’d like the multiple metrics for running, but the single metric (filling the whole screen) is so much easier for swimming.
Simply dragging other metrics to “do not use” is NOT a solution for people with poor eyes. The Single Metric option used a larger font size allowing me to actually see the metric. Dragging the others to do not use did not increase my font size for the only metric that matters, HR.
Wth, Apple? You guys get more like Micro$oft and Samsung every day. Half tested updates and degrading user experiences. I so miss Jobs. Thanks for jacking up a simple and obviously necessary feature for people who don’t want to wear their freaking glasses while working out.
The single metric option is vital for people using reading glasses - and do not want to wear them running. Could also be some other kind of method to get LARGE digits.
The single metric was removed now.
Apparently, people over 40 are not supposed to use the app?Sorry, but you are answering to something completely different than what is the issue.
Someone at Apple, please do explan why on earth you remove such a feature. I assume you had some kind of logic behind, but just did not realize the usefulness or maybe you knew and just chose to ignore?
Same issue for me. Either it’s gone, or it moved somewhere else. I really miss the Single Metric view.
I wish there was an unhelpful button.
Seriously. If it ain't broken DON'T fix it!
I surf everyday and now I can't read the time on my watch while using the surfing workout!
To say I'm annoyed is an understatement!
same issue here. Can’t read multiple metrics while running or swimming. Hope it will be fixed or will need to go to another app
It's still there,just drag the metrics that you don't want into the "do not include" section.
Suggest it here;
