Apple Watch arm movement pauses audio on headphones

Lately, I have become extremely aggravated because every time I raise the arm with my Apple Watch, it pauses the audio on my Beats headphones. I’ve tried to Google answers, but Eisens related to workout pausing. My problem is with random arm movements throughout the day stopping the audio books I’m listening to on my BEATS headphones. I’ve tried restarting both iPhone and Apple Watch, neither of which has helped. I really need this issue resolved!

Hi chiffon224,


Based on the troubleshooting you've already done we'd recommend making sure you check the fit of your watch. You can learn how to do that here: Wearing your Apple Watch - Apple Support


If that doesn't work you may want to try unpairing and pairing the watch again to see if things persist: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support


If things persist you can reach out for additional support here: Get Support


Take care.
