"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.

There is no "security and privacy" I have gone through every single place in settings on the watch app

@VampiratePenny Which watch do you have?

[VampiratePenny]

Never mind, I didn't realize it was on the actual watch and not the wear app. I've turned off the wrist detection. We shall see if it stopped the annoying message of "seems like you've stopped, finish workout," which, by the way, should have the option to turn it off. It does affect how other things work. I think I have the galaxy 6 watch. Maybe samsung should just get rid of that stupid notification to begin with. We'll see if it works.

So far this seems to be working! Thank you!

It is Sep 26, 2024, and I am having this issue.

On your watch (not the wear app) go to settings and then security and privacy and then toggle off wrist detection.

Once an update came out around May my watch does not detect my wrist thru tattoos causing this error.I have fixed this by turning off wrist detection and it has been working fine for months. I have created multiple forums on how I confirmed this and Samsung keeps taking it down or combining them with this forum that says" resolved".

[VampiratePenny]

This 100% works. Samsung needs to get rid of that stupid notification but until then this hasn't happened since I turned off the wrist detection.

Yes. It's something with there sensors and tattoos. I ran troubleshooting tool on the watch and confirmed when it is over tattoo it will not register....

I've turned off the wrist detection, and it is still giving me the "seems you've stopped" message multiple times throughout a workout. 😩
