Not liking the change to timer in watchOS 3

Hi. I just went to set a timer on my watch and noticed that the hrs and min pickers are gone replaced by pre-defined times. Any way to get the old timer back? I needed 35 min and the only options close to that were 30 min or 1 hrs. Haven't tried the phone timer on iOS 10 yet but hope it's not the same.

Hi Jessica
If you navigate beyond the pre determined buttons (i.e. 1 Minute, 3minutes, etc), the last button is labelled Custom.
If you double tap on the Custom Button you will get the picker screen, same as on the previous Timer.
Failing that, you can always ask SIRI to set your Custom countdown.

If you scroll down past the precepts where it says custom then you will be able to set it the way you normally do before watchOS 3
