Apple why have you removed block screen option for workout? - Apple Watch Ultra 2

I train a crosffit. It's some kind of nonsense. With such a

dynamic sport and varied exercises, it takes literally a few minutes,

and the watch is already unlocked or wants to call SOS because it can't

be locked. Locking with the 'water' button is a joke. Firstly, it

practically doesn't work with such a sport; the watch unlocks almost

immediately, and I have to interrupt my training constantly to lock it

again. Secondly, after every workout, do I have to 'clear the water' to

unlock the watch? One of the most expensive watches in the world, and it

doesn't have such a basic function as screen locking, which is so

essential for measuring your parameters without constantly interrupting

your training to 'lock' the screen each time. To make it even funnier,

there used to be an option in the earlier version in the workout app

where you could lock the screen for 5 seconds, which I also found too

short and already dealt with. Really, for the amount of money this watch

costs, from such a huge company making such good equipment, it can't

introduce such a basic option as locking the **** watch and unlocking it

by pressing, for example, two opposite buttons for 5 seconds, which

would solve the problem? I'm just embarrassed. Not only did you remove

such an important feature like locking during exercises, there is no

alternative for it, and 'locking' with 'water' is just a joke and

audacity. What were you thinking? I'm curious who approved such an

idiotic idea. They should be fired. You didn't even test how the watch

behaves during training, and you're bragging that the watch is for

athletes. For which athletes, those who walk or ride a bike because then

you don't need to lock the watch? You should immediately implement the

watch locking option, an option that works!!! And if not, give people

their money back because this is not a sports watch.

Sorry, but you are not addressing Apple here on these forums. These are user-to-user forums, no one here is an Apple employee and Apple Support does not monitor these forums. We here are users like yourself.


Your only option is to submit feedback to Apple. Of course if you had called Apple Support to express your rage they would have likely just hung up on you. No one is required to put up with what you posted.
