Strava watch interactions seem to be bugged. Previously, the quick start watch tile would show your 3 recent activities and the option for a list. Now, it just shows run, walk and cycle, and selecting one of these will not start the activity, but will open the list of activities.
Activities aren't ordered in any logical way. With ride types not together, indoors activities not together, or alphabetical at the least.
Often times selecting something from the quick start tiles will tell you a workout is already active, before crashing and then starting over showing the activity list.
Previous posts have been made, but it's been going on for so long that folks think that this is the norm. Seems to be platform agnostic.
