Stop auto workout segments
I just updated my Apple Watch Series 7 to OS 9.0.2.
Now, when I use the workout app for an outdoor walk, the watch automatically adds segments at the 1 mile mark - the watch makes a noise, I glance and see Segment 1 displayed on the screen, and it temporarily blocks the workout view (running timer, etc).
Previously the watch would beep at me when I hit a mile and quickly return to the workouts view. If I cared to review different splits/segments, I had the option to view splits within the workout details section of the workout summary.
I don't like the new automatic behavior but I haven't figured out how to stop it. I've looked in my phone's watch, fitness, and health apps and searched online.
I'm also a bit surprised that if I wanted this new automatic (vs manual) behavior, I don't seem to have an option to customize when the watch creates a split. For example, if I did want automatic splits, I should be able to decide if I want it to occur at some other interval - such as 1/2 o4 3/4 mile - without a manual intervention.
Anyone figured out how to remove or customize this?
