Workout Pauses

Turning off the "Auto Pause" seems to have zero effect on my series 4. Come on Apple...this is ridiculous that there isn't a way to just let the timer run without the micromanaging...which would be fine if it worked...however the last workout walk i went on it seemed the faster I walked...the more it paused...literabout ever 3 seconds...& then there are times when it dosent "Pause" at all...very frustrating...with so many updates it seems like this could be worked in

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 7

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.

Is your sleeve catching on the side buttons or on the screen itself?
