Apple Watch Ultra Pausing Workout by itself

Hello guys!


Got an apple watch ultra and I'm using it playing tennis, first time it paused the workout by itself, then in the second time I locked the device (water lock), so it wouldn't take any action...it did not work and ir paused again :(.


Is it happening to anyone, on any kind of workouts?


I know there is a menu to turn off the auto pause, but locking it should prevent it from pausing, right?


I like the auto pause when I am walking, jogging, etc.


My series 2 and 5 never paused itself, unless I was like jogging and stopped for a while.

Guess what it was? The crown and the side button by the crown when pressed together will pause your workout.... it accidentally happens all the time during workouts on ultra due to its design.


On the workout menu, there is a button to unable that: "Press to Pause". Just switch that off and you are good to go!
