Have heart rate zones for workouts been eliminated in the latest update (27.0.1) for the Apple Watch?

where do i set heart rate zones now? Prior to the latest update (27.0.1) I used the directions here (How to create a heart rate notification w… - Apple Community) to set specific heart rate zones for my workouts. I’m doing a physical therapy protocol for long COVID and every day I take my resting heart rate and set a zone for 15-20 BPM above it and that’s where I’m supposed to hit for my workout, but now I don’t see it in the Watch app. I can set a custom range but am limited to setting it to a multiple of 5, so my actual target zone is often below or above the range I’m able to set. I’m very, very frustrated as I bought the watch primarily to assist in my recovery. Has this function just been eliminated?


I found another person with the same issue here: https://www.reddit.com/r/applehelp/comments/1wwxqzk/where_did_the_heart_rate_zones_in_workout_go/

Those settings still appear in the Workout app on the iPhone Watch app.

Thank you, That’s great! I don’t see it though. I’ll have to figure out why.
