Watch pausing during workout

Series 6 watch keeps pausing during workouts. Watch is correct on wrist and even during movement the watch pauses. power saving mode is off but still pauses after a few seconds. sometimes if continue to look at the watch it will keep going but once I’m not looking at it the pausing continues.

Go to the watch app on the phone and tap on workout,turn off running autopause and end workout reminder.

Or on the watch in settings/workout and turn them off there.


Or;

When you start your workout slide right on the screen and tap on lock,then when you finish the workout turn the digital crown in one continuous movement to turn the lock off then slide right again and tap on end.


Tighten the watch band a touch.

Don't wear the watch on top of any tattoos.
