Pauses traditional strength training

My brand new Apple Watch series 7 keeps pausing the gym workout all the fing time. Have turned off all pause functionality and auto pause.

as soon as I start the workout and grab my weights it pauses. When I resume it pauses within 5-10 second.

did I receive a shity faulty watch or does anyone else have this problem?

considering retiring the device if this is a common thing.

3rd workout since I bought it and still does the same **** again.

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 8

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.
