How to track activity with Samsung Watch without entering exercise?

[Android Central Question]

I know you can choose your exercise but it is not a really comprehensive list and apparently you have to hot pause during rest. I don't have the patience to be fiddling with my watch when trying to get a workout done, but sometimes I'll go to the gym for an hour and it'll say I was only active for 15 mins if I don't tell it otherwise.

I moved this from the Samsung Smartwatches general forum to the Galaxy Watch app for more specific traffic.
