Cycling Workout Keeps Pausing

I have an Apple Watch 4 which I use for both running and cycling however my watch seems to have developed a problem. When setting off on a cycle ride over the last few weeks I have found when I am only 30 seconds or so into the cycling my watch pauses. So I hit the resume button and 5-10 seconds later it pauses again and it keeps doing this. So I turn the watch off and then back on again and start the cycle ride recording again and it does exactly the same thing - keeps pausing. I have also experienced this when running but it seemed to sort itself out.


Does this sound like a fault with the watch or is their a setting that I need to tweak. It used to work fine when I first bought the watch.

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?
