Music pausing with wrist movement

My Apple Watch keeps pausing and stuttering my music whenever I move or turn my wrist. Hard to avoid moving ones wrist on the day to day let alone when working out. Does anyone know how to make it stop?

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities Tico18,


I see that you're having an issue with your Apple Watch pausing music when raising your wrist. I understand your concern, and I'd be happy to look into this with you.


First, let's have you restart your Apple Watch and then test to see if the issue remains.


Restart Apple Watch


If the issue remains, try turning off raise to wake while you're working out.


Turn on and wake Apple Watch


I also recommend reviewing the "A better fit means better readings" section of support article Wearing your Apple Watch for suggestions on wearing your Apple Watch.


Let me know how this goes.
