Detach widget data from navigation in watch app
under review
Roman Abuziarov
I use energy widget on my watch to see energy at a glance. I also use it to enter the app and start a workout or set up an alarm. But because the widget opens the energy screen in the app, my flow is kinda weird: I tap on the widget, then back out from the energy screen, and then proceed to whatever screen I actually need. Would it make sense to detach the data displayed on the widget from navigation and just open the main screen of the app?

Yeah but I only have a handful of slots on my watch face, so I'm not going to put both widget and just an icon there. Sad that an option to pick where widget navigates can't be considered

Hi Roman Abuziarov, we intentionally designed the widgets to be shortcuts for different parts of the app, so unfortunately, we won't be detaching them. The best way to access the home screen is through the app icon itself.
