Health workouts- please allow duration targets under 5 minutes

[jcnote]

Currently, exercises with duration targets have to be set between 5 minutes and 12 hours. The lower limit of 5 minutes does not work  for interval training. When trying to create routines for the different types of interval training I do, I cannot use duration as a target because 5 minutes is too long for interval training. Common intervals used by most people range from 10 seconds to 2 minutes.

New Galaxy Watch 6 user here...

I just discovered this issue today while trying to create HIIT routines and I hope Samsung releases an update as soon as possible.
A custom workout is based on the premise that I can customize everything and not get stuck in a setting that doesn't even make sense to have this 5min minimum of time for HIIT workouts.

When is this happening

[Migifgi]

Same request here. Please allow to setup intervals lower than 1km and 5 minutes.

Dear developers,

please make it happen or otherwise users should move to different brands to make their exercises more customised.

Chiming in to echo the frustration of others. I have found some exercises do allow for durations of under 5 minutes which makes this all the more frustrating.

I don't want my interval runs to be programmed as Walk - Burpees - Walk when the Run exercise exists and provides useful insight about my form and pace. Or at least, I think it does from the one time I tried to use it before resorting to this ugly workaround.

If, for whatever reason, allowing Runs to be less than 5 minutes breaks something somewhere then PLEASE create a new "Run Interval" or "High Intensity Segment" or something.

Guys, you can simply do the workout on your watch . There, you can set the reps to be 1 minute. You are welcome 😉

It seems like we are talking to a brick wall at this point. 2025 and this is still an issue. A simple fix at that. Smh.

I would like to use the Norwegian 4x4 interval method in my training, but Samsung Health only allows a minimum interval duration of 5 minutes, even in circuit training mode. This prevents me from setting the required 4-minute intervals. Will Samsung Health be updated to allow more flexible interval durations below 5 minutes? This would greatly improve training accuracy and usability for evidence-based workouts.

Samsung! Fix this, it's ridiculous. 

The customers want to customize their own routines and add own exercises. 

Even crazier, it's already possible to set it up below 5 minutes, but only some exercises that are preloaded. There is literally no reason to limit this. 

If I want a 10sec cycle, I chose it to be a 10 sec cycle! If 10hrs, it's gonna be 10 hrs.

FIX THIS!

+1 on this problem. It seems like Samsung doesn't care for this feature.
