Apple Watch Ultra - a safer option to stop a workout

Hi


With my AWU - pressing the side button and the Digital Crown at the same time pauses my workout to stop. I found myself several times due to heavy excercise, lots of sweat, pressing the action button to mark an interval - but probably a tiny "touch" on the crown made it actually stop my workout (which might happen as I approach to press the action button). This is really annoying!


Is there a way to disable that? I would like to see a different behavior here and have one of the button on the watch dedicated to start/stop/pause while the other to be used as an interval indicator.

To disable two button pause, go to iPhone, Watch app, My Watch tab, Workout and turn off Press to pause.


Is there a safer way? Experiment with "Hey Siri, Pause workout" or similar.
