Apple watch keeps pausing in the middle of a run

While doing outdoor runs, apple watch keeps pausing every minute or so.


The only hintr I found here is to disable autopause.


But that cannot be the proper solution, as I actually *want* the watch to pause measuring a run *if* I am not running.

But this happens while I am actually running.


So how does the watch check if I am running, and why does it not detect me being the whole time very well in a 8-9min/km pace?


Can that be a sign of broken hardware?

It could be sign that the heart rate sensors are not working properly or that maybe you are not wearing the watch properly.

BTW, do you have any tattoos on your wrist? That could also affect the heart rate monitoring.
