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.

It's really crazy how they go out of their way to stop customers from using their watches for their intended purposes. I've tried so hard to help them over the years to make their software better but they just refuse time after time. Clearly no one at Samsung actually uses their watches themselves.

Yo - **bleep**.  The fact that in June of 25 we still don't have this option is asinine. Who the **bleep** decided that time limits on custom workout routines was a good idea?? 

Put out the fix already! What in the world??

I'm experiencing the same issue. I was trying to use Samsung Health to set up my HIIT running training, but I'm unable to create intervals of 1 minute of running followed by 1 minute of walking. It's disappointing.

Come on Samsung , how hard can it be to change the  duration. This has been a feature requests for over a year  now. Surely someone in samsung works out and has realised that HIIT exercises and fartlek training are all shorter than 5 mins a set

👁👄👁 Looking at you Samsung.

We know it's possible since premade exercises like crunches can be set below 5 minutes as well.
