Unable to set pace upper limit after ios9.2 update Series 5 watch

I am trying to adjust the upper limit pace setting in custom running workout but the watch will not let me change the setting. The setting shows a blank. I am able to set the lower limit but no upper after iOS 9.2 update.

Apple Watch Series 5

I have this too, but I have found a workaround to it, although twice it worked straight away, the other times it took 2 or 3 attempts.


Anyway the work around I am using is to change the pace alert to be a target instead of a range and then set the target pace to be what you want the upper limit to be. Then back out of alerts, go back in, change target back to range and it should have set both the upper and lower limit to whatever you set as the target pace. You can then change the lower limit to whatever you need.


As I said, sometimes it works straight away, others it takes a few attempts, but I have always got it to work


Hope that helps

Hello jamnetwork,


Being able to adjust the settings for a Custom workout is important. While simple, restarting your Apple Watch is a fantastic step that can help with resolving many issues. If you haven't already, restart your Apple Watch using the steps listed below.


  1. "If your Apple Watch is charging, take it off the charger.
  2. Press and hold the side button until you see the power button  in the upper-right corner of the display.
  3. Tap the power button.
  4. Drag the Power Off slider.
  5. After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo."


Restart your Apple Watch
