apple watch series 3 won't run interval timer AND workout apps

Hey there stitchnerrrd,

Your Apple Watch is designed to be able to run the Workout app simultaneously with other apps, however certain apps that perform the same function type may not be able to run at the same time. Since your interval timer may be considered a workout/exercise app, it may draw on the same processing resources as the workout app and thus prevent both from running at the same time on the watch.

To help us test this, let's have you start a workout on the Apple Watch, then use the built-in watchOS Timer app to set a timer. This is just so we can see if the native Timer app stops the Workout app as well.

If it does not, your watch is functioning as it should and the issue is that the two exercise apps cannot run simultaneously. If the Timer app also stops the Workout app, however, don't hesitate to respond back with the watchOS version you're using.

Best.
