Series 5 Apple Watch keeps pausing workouts

my Apple Watch, since purchased, has continually paused workouts. Usually 2-4 times. I normally catch it but I’ve done many workouts that haven’t tracked. I’ve turned off running pause, turned off wrist detection, locked the keys, made it tighter and looser, and still have multiple pauses throughout workouts. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there, Mike1831!


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you're having an issue with your Watch opposing while tracking workouts. I recommend checking out this article for Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy. This article will give you steps to take to calibrate your Watch for better tracking. Once that has been done, complete a normal workout to test if the issue is still going on. 


Let me know the results and have a terrific day!
