Q: Watch keeps entering fitness mode
Hi, over the last three or four days my watch battery seems to drain unusually quickly
I have noticed that every time I look on the watch the little green workout figure is on in the green lights on the back of the watch are constantly on as well, but I am not using any of the fitness trackers
I have tried starting and stopping the fitness trackers, turning the watch off and resetting it, as well as resetting my phone
Any other thoughts, or do I need to do a hard reset by un pairing the watch and re installing like it is brand-new?

Hi
If you have ever (but not necessarily recently) previously used any third-party fitness tracking apps (such as Strava) to record workouts on your watch:
- On your watch: check whether there is presently a paused activity within any of those apps. If there is, end that activity from within that app on your watch (not on your iPhone).
- If in doubt, it may help to remove the third-party fitness app from your watch:
- On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > scroll down and tap on the app name > turn off Show App on Apple Watch.
