Apple Watch - workout app freezes

On my new cellular Nike AppleWatch, the workout app is stuck or very slow. It opens but I can’t scroll through workouts. Sometimes after a minute it moves but for all practical purposes it’s locked. I had a series 1&2vand never had this issue.

The only fix/workaround I have found is a) restart the watch b) force quit the app. It then works again but the Problem quickly returns.

Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.

I'm having this exact issue with my Apple Watch Series2... Whenever I'm launching the workout app - Doesn't matter if I do it from the "widget" or from the app menu. I get the Workout main screen but the screen is unresponsive for ~30secs. After that time it works just fine... Until when I'm finishing my workout. Again when I swipe right to get to press the finish workout I get another period of unresponsivenes...

I've tried to factory reset both - My iPhone 7 and my Apple Watch but nether did anything to the issue... What ***** that this is pretty new issue - can't remember that this was an issue ~month ago...

Nope. That might work for you, but I don't even use Apple Music. Music isn't even set up to start when I start a work out. Apple need to fix this BUG, not us, doing all these silly workarounds.

That worked ! Weird but it worked for me. Setting the Dock to Recent helps.

That's because you're reset the watch. I got a new series 3, reinstalled from backup. Worked great for a week. After a week it started to lag again.

I find that it sometimes helps to turn on reduce motion.

I've had this problem for a long time and it was driving me nuts. I tried many things. I just wanted to report that the latest update to WatchOS 4.3.1 seemed to have resolved it for me!
