The Action button is a wonderful addition exactly for this use case. You can pause the workout without needing to touch the screen by pressing the action button and the side button together. When you want to resume the workout again, press the action button. hope that helps

I don't believe that is an option with the Activity Button, but it's a good idea and you should definitely let Apple know, by providing feedback through this link --> Feedback - Watch - Apple
