Why can’t I delete old timers I from the Timer App???!!!

I tried using the steps barberlives123 in Support posted on someone else having the same issue I’m having…but his steps DO NOT WORK. Yes if you open an old timer you want to delete it has a delete or “X” option. However it doesn’t remove from the list of timers from previous uses. So I’m still at a loss for HOW to remove the other timers. Is it IMPERATIVE that they get removed? No, but it bugs me lol and honestly, that’s such a SIMPLE option to have, why didn’t developers add that option?

it NEVER ceases to amaze me the truly SIMPLE & often times NEEDED options on apps that Apple and other developers don’t include on their apps! Life is hard enough as it is, especially since C-19, so why make it harder for us customers lol???

Hey Hippos2023,

There would not be an option to manually delete old Apple Watch timers, however when you create a new timer it will remove the oldest custom timer to make room for the new one. You can learn more about that here: Set timers on Apple Watch - Apple Support

"Create a custom timer

Open the Timers app on your Apple Watch.
Scroll to the top of the screen, then tap Custom.
Tap hours, minutes, or seconds; turn the Digital Crown to adjust.
Tap Start.
"

If you'd like to see any changes made to the way timers work on your Apple Watch in potential future updates, be sure to leave that Feedback here.

Thanks!
