Especially considering the ability to use shortcuts, the possibilities are large. What are you planning to use it for?
 
I admit I don't really get what shortcut possibilities there are...

But Nothing available (right now) that interested me 🙁 Would love to hear about shortcut abilities for this

Native options for the Action button can start/launch:​

  • Workout
  • Stopwatch
  • Waypoint
  • Backtrack
  • Dive
  • Flashlight
  • Shortcut (from Shortcuts app)
  • None
 
Precision start

Also, I hope it’s usable with the stop watch app For starting/stopping. I used to get so frustrated with the watchOS 8 stopwatch if I didn’t tap the stop button exactly right, it would change the display mode instead. At least watchOS 9 stopped that quirk but I’d appreciate a physical button I could hit without even looking.

I find it really bad that I cant start a app with it (would like to start my Gym-App). I’m hope they will add this in the near future…
 
I wanted to launch Nike Run app but I guess not. I’ll just do waypoint so I won’t get lost when I park the car lol
 
Really wish they would allow you to set it as a quick timer. I'd like to set mine as a 30 second timer between sets for workouts.

I would like to have it as a start/stopp for all activities. Or does it actually work like this and I do smthg wrong?
