Hey, is it possible to DISABLE the "are you sure?" question when you end a workout? Having to click twice to end a workout, instead of once, is very frustrating. TIA.

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 10
Hi - well my experience and complaint are the same. I have to hit a button twice, instead of once, to end a workout and am not happy with that. I don't do consecutive workouts - just one, and want to end it by one press instead of two. I've complained to Apple.
If you look at the post in this thread by JulianSL on October 7, 2023 you will see he mentions double tapping the end workout button. I have forced myself to do this and I find that it works very close to 100% of the time. After a short time for me it has become muscle memory. Just need for your hand and the watch to be fairly still.
I had hoped the finger tap feature that was added (double tapping the thumb and forefinger, requires series 9) would help with this but for this case it doesn't appear to work because there isn't a default response. In addition, for me it works less than 50% of the time.
This is the best that can be done until/unless Apple realizes what I would call the "error" of their ways.
Your description fits what I recall from watchOS 9. With watchOS 10 the act of stopping a workout now requires the two taps and the "Done" button at the bottom of the workout summary has been replaced by an "X" at the top left corner. I very rarely look at the workout summary so scrolling to the bottom was more of an annoyance for me. Others may have found it helpful.

The difference is that the workout actually ended with the first tap. The Done was to confirm you have seen the summary and done with it. You didn’t actually even have to click on it unless you want to start a new workout the same time. After a while it used to automatically reset back as if you clicked Done.
Yes I know, just give it til next week, ok?
I absolutely loathe this addition. And the placement of “new workout”?? Why? Who thought that was helpful? Just lost a PR because I was tired and my muscles were wiped out. At least let me roll back this update….
Ah, the "get over it" post is gone so my comment above has no context. Someone told me to "get over it" about the new feature and made it clear they believed the feature would not change. Happy to know that this update now gives us the option to change this feature! Thanks to Apple!!!!!!
Ok, while I was annoyed by the feature at first I realized it would probably have solved the many frustrating running workouts in the winter where my jacket or long sleeve shirt turned the workout recording off without my realizing it.
Now the "are you sure" confirmation is gone in the recent update. I saw a message saying it was off by default and if you wanted to turn it back on go to X. But I can't remember what it said for X. And I'll be darned if I can find how to turn it back on. Googling brings up thread after thread about the reminder thing that I'm not looking for. And all these threads about disabling the feature I want to enable.
Anyone know where to ENABLE it?
Thank you. I do not see this option. Under Watch->Workout in iPhone I see from top to bottom:
Lower Power Mode
Auto-Pause
Start Workout Reminder
End Workout Reminder
Press to Pause
View Metrics on iPhone
Alerts on Watch
Detect Gym Equipment
Workout Playlist
Units of Measure
Voice Feedback
Heart Rate Zones
Cycling Power
iPhone OS 17.1.2
Watch OS 10.2 (21S364)
Guessing it is my iPhone OS being 17.1 not 17.2? I'll update it tonight (auto update was on so not sure why I'm behind. Appears 17.2 was released 17 days ago).

Now you swipe right, tap end, then get a prompt to answer the are you sure question. Extra step, unfortunately.
complain at https://apple.com/feedback and they fix it in 10.2
Ugh. Will report it in feedback!
It always was two actions.
