"Seems like you've stopped. Finish workout?"

[Jusson90]

As the subject and location suggests, my watch during the middle of a workout has started repeatedly pausing the workout and saying "Seems like you've stopped. Finish workout?" And it does not matter how much I'm moving, how high my heart rate is, or how many times I tell it to resume. The watch did not do this last month and it does not matter what workout I'm doing. Whether I'm walking, running, lifting weights, rowing, doing a dynamic workout, about every 20 seconds to 2 minutes this notification pops up.

I've done everything I can from restarting the watch, resetting the watch, checking for updates, going into each exercise choice and turning off "Auto Pause", going into the settings and turning off "Activities to detect" on both the phone Samsung Health app and in the watch. I've even called Samsung tech support and the man I talked to was saying that it must be an app causing it but i've turned off all app notifications except messaging apps.

The only thing I can think that might be going on is I cannot change "Auto detect workouts" in the Advanced option of the Samsung Health app settings.

I need help.

Exercise stops and I get a message that says have I stopped or continue

Same! Annoying and needs to get fixed

Saw another post that said to turn off Auto Pause but the post was old and I don't see an Auto Pause setting

I had a watch update yesterday and I had hoped it would have fixed this stupid thing. It did not. Samsung sucks.

I sent the error report as requested. This is a software issue, not a Samsung health issue. I hope someone fixes this soon as this watch was expensive and not functioning in the way it should.

Many of us have done these exact things. Bottom line is, the watch will automatically pause workouts (sometimes several times within a minute) and make it impossible to track.
This is a huge software issue that ruins the biggest reason many of us have spent money on this watch.
What's the point in a fitness tracker that doesn't track? Heck, if you try to use it the constant vibration from auto stop actually hinder said workouts.
