Apple Watch Saving

[Kcoffey3000]

Can we PLEASE somehow separate the “Save” and “Discard” button on Apple Watch? Too many times, I’ve accidentally discarded an activity when trying to save. 

Having the buttons the same size and right on top of each other is not helpful. 

99% of the time, we just want to save. Discard should not even be an option! We can delete unwanted activities manually in the app, if needed.

Discard definitely needs a confirmation screen if there isn’t one. Software 101 is never make it quick and easy to cause irreversible data loss.

They could also do what the Apple Watch’s built-in Workout app does: automatic discard for any activity shorter than a minute, and automatic save otherwise. As you said, deleting a longer activity should be rare enough that no one would miss the button if it went away. In fact, even with a confirmation screen, you may end up deleting your activity inadvertently when it’s raining or your fingers are so sweaty that touches are registered incorrectly.
