Is there a way to edit the workout (like when I forget to turn on Apple Watch workout mode until halfway through my elliptical routine)?

So 9/10 times I forget to put my Apple Watch in workout mode until I am already well into my workout. Is there any way to edit the time that I spent on the elliptical whenever I make this mistake/after the workout is complete or before I start the workout can I add elapsed time? It seems as though the elapsed time setting is only for setting your total workout time goal... Thank you!

What's annoying is, the Apple Watch possesses all thats necessary from a hardware standpoint to automatically detect when you have started (or stopped) a workout. In fact some cheaper devices (like the Fitbit) for instance, already do this. I have owned both and while I really like the Apple Watch, this is one area where it lists fast behind others.

I've got a similar problem except that I forget to turn it off at the end so this evening I've logged a nearly 3 hour long Pilates session!

I agree that you can't edit it but you can manually add the part you forgot. Add data point in the workouts section of Apple Health. You can add the Distance, Calories, start and stop time.
