.Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 11
Not being able to delete 8 timers I don't want is unacceptable! Please go back to the last version that allowed deleting any timer I did not want. Now I have to scroll through the 8 I don't want to get to a timer I have to add in order to use. Am I supposed to like this change? I don't. Fix it.

Me too. I have several I cannot delete. Pin Unpin, but no Red Delete symbol. this problem appeared with the most recent update watchOS 11.0 and 11.0.1. Very frustrating.
having same issues with Apple watch 11.1 version. Sometimes see red delete minus & other times not. Another upgrade/bug fix is in order here!
Thanks I guess I am not alone
Mine keep on coming back no matter how I delete them it's like Jason and the argonauts . The skeletons just keep on coming back no matter how I tap them out. When I tap the 2nd or 3rd time I don't get the red delete symbol.
Greg.Hudson.1954. - You are correctly describing the situation AFTER the 11.1 Update. Those of us who are complaining want Apple to return to the Status Quo Ante 11.1 when we could delete unwanted timers. The fixed timers you describe were not there before 11.1
Since last update I can't get rid of timers at all. Never see red delete option. I hate this!
G'day Margaret. Please try this:
Tap on the watch TIMER icon then scroll to the bottom and press EDIT.
Now every timer has either JUST a yellow PIN, or (for your own custom timers) you will see:
BOTH the yellow Pin AND the red Delete options.
If you don't see any timers with the RED delete option, then you have not yet created a custom timer.
Try pressing the + symbol at the end of the timers list to create a new timer, then press EDIT to see the RED delete option (but only on that one newly created timer).
The timers you CANNOT delete are: 1,3,5,10,15,30 min, plus 1 and 2 hour. These are always at the top, and custom timers are below them. e.g. I have 2,7,45 min plus 1h15m, and 1h30m below the Apple timers.
When I look at the ones *I* have created (using the EDIT option at the bottom), ONLY the 5 custom timers have the delete option on each one of them.
I'm assuming your watch is capable of running WatchOS 11.1 or later, and your iPhone is also capable of installing it.
Yes, that 's correct. You can only delete timers you did create. The default ones can not be removed.
But, if you create some more of your choice and pin them, those default timers will move out of sight.

on your Apple Watch....Did you read my exhausting description as to why you can't ?
No cycook. The timers we want to delete do not display the red minus circle in edit mode. That’s the problem.
Why can't I delete 8 timers I don't want???
