Has anyone had an issue with an activity on their watch suddenly switching to a different activity? When out on an outdoor walk activity, my watch has recently started jumping to an indoor cycle activity partway through the walk, thus ending the outdoor walk. The point at which this happens appears as a red dot on the route map. Any ideas how I can stop this?
If all settings normal but behaviour is irrational there is a progressive hierarchy of remedies...
First force restart the Watch
i.e. press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.
Then, although it may seem irrelevant, while it is restarting Force Restart the paired iphone Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK)
Test it for a while. If it is still misbehaving... Unpair and set up again
Unpair and erase your Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK)
and then
Set up your Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK)
If no better you may want to unpair then set up without restoring the backup.
You may also want to make sure the software on the watch and iphone are up to date.

The forced re-start seems to have fixed the problem. Many thanks.
You're welcome, glad I could help.
