How to fix Apple Watch keeps Pausing During Workout?īefore telling you how to turn it off, we thought it would be better to tell you about the benefits of it.So I now have a few tests to run (literally) and will report back. 😐 The support tech also had me re-pair the watch with my iPhone as a possible fix. I spoke to another Apple Support tech after restarting the watch did not work, and he suggested that excessive moisture - i.e., sweat - coming into contact with the watch might be the culprit if true, that's a little disconcerting, inasmuch as the entire point of using the workout app is to track progress and gather data during activities that often result in significant sweat production. If Iknowindigo's theory is right, that might, presumably, cause the app to pause. I have the sports band on my watch, but I have very small wrists, so even tho' I wear it on the last notch, the watch is loose, bounces around considerably during my runs, and may not be making continuous contact with my skin. Interesting re tats potentially interfering with the app - I don't have any on my wrists, so that's not the source of my particular problem, lol, but Iknowindigo may be on to something that could be a factor in my case. On that note, I'm off to ruin the aesthetics of my watchband by drilling another hole in it.

And although ink may be a problem for some, sweat and even the watch not being directly in contact with skin do not seem to be factors. Curious, tho’, as to what’s in the ink (metal?) that interferes with the operation of the app.īottom line, at least for me, is that the solution to the pausing issue is ensuring the watch fits snugly around my wrist. Removing tattoos – I opted not to personally test this fix, which would have involved first getting a tattoo, and then having it removed instead I will take redroxy1974’s word that tats were the cause of his app pausing problems and could be an issue for others under similar circumstances. directly on skin, the one thing that might not have been functioning is the heart-rate monitor, but unfortunately I didn’t think to check that at the time. well, actually it might’ve missed my heartbeat – with the watch sitting on a folded piece of cloth vs. The app continued to track my progress without missing a beat. O Second test: I moved the cloth underneath the watch itself so the watch was still snug but not directly in contact with my skin. which was even more good news and puts the excess moisture theory to rest. Happily, this did the trick: I ran several miles and the app worked flawlessly, in spite of the fact that I had worked up a decent sweat by this point. O First test: I stuffed soft cloth under the watchband on the inside of my wrist, such that the back of the watch was snug against my skin and the watch would not move around on my wrist when I ran. After resuming, it paused again, and a third time after that.
After going through the unpairing and re-pairing process, I did not get more than a few hundred feet during my next run before the app paused. Re-pairing of watch with iPhone – Ditto. After resuming, it paused again, and a third time after that, at which point I gave up and finished my run, sans app. In fact, if anything, the problem was worse after the restart app paused only 45 seconds in to my run the first time. Watch restart – Can’t rule it out as being a fix for some, but definitely did not work for me. Update: FWIW, here’s a complete, um, rundown of my efforts to solve the mystery of the pausing workout app.
