watchOS 11 beta 5 - Problem workout duration wrong on automatically appearing widget

On watchOS 11 when starting a workout session a widget appears automatically on the smart stack showing the pause or resume button.

It´s a great feature, but my problem is that the duration is not showed correctly because the prepare phase of the workout and the pause / resume events are not taken into account calculating the duration.

In my project I don´t use the workout builder. I have made a sample project with workout builder and there the duration is shown correctly.

It would be great if this automatically appearing widget would also show the time correctly in case the workout builder is not used (prepare phase and pause resume events considered, otherwise it looks like a bug).

Is there any way to opt out of this automatically appearing widget or could this be fixed? Any comments from an Apple engineer on this?

I’d suggest that you file a feedback report (http://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/) to voice your opinion, as that is the formal channel to provide your feedback – If you do so, please share your report ID here for folks to track.

Secondly, is there anything that prevents you from using a workout builder? How do you construct a workout without using a workout builder?

Best,
