WatchOS 8 Update Tedious to Use – Timers Review

The change that moved the recent timers to the top makes it tedious to use the standard presets. On top of that, using the standard presets (1,3,5,10,etc.) now *also* adds those to the recent timer list, wasting this space with duplicates of whichever standard timers you use. In addition to taking longer to scroll to get to the standard presets, if you also use specific custom timers often, they will be quickly pushed off of the recent timer list whenever the standard timers are used. More specifically for hope I use timers: I use various timers throughout the day. I usually use the fixed presets, but I also frequently use 20 and 40 minute custom timers. I used to be able to quickly start a 20 or 40 minute timer from the recent timer list (previously at the bottom) -- however since I don't use the same timer every use, I end up having to use a custom timer almost every time I need 20 or 40 minutes, taking more time to do so, and essentially rendering the recent timer list pointless. (Well *worse* then pointless because I still have to scroll past it to get to the fixed presets.)
