Are you moving in such a way that your wrist or clothing might be pressing against the side of the watch? Pressing the side button and the Digital Crown simultaneously will pause the workout if the "Press to Pause" option is enabled in the Workout app. This works even if Water Lock is on.

Thanks for the reply but I've tried everything and it just seems to pause when it wants to mostly after the 45 minute mark. I've tried setting unreachable goals prior to using it but still pauses and I turned off all auto features. For example set indoor run goal for 1 hour 30 minutes but still pauses. And if I don't catch the watch when it pauses it automatically ends the workout! Have worked with 4 Apple Tech's and a Verizon rep but still not fixed. We've tried pairing-unpairing, wiping it clean and starting from new but still no go! The watch started doing this in May of this year. The one real thing I bought the watch for and dosesn't seem to want to work and adds stress to the workout. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
