Quickly? Its been discussed and requested ever since the Surge came out, which was over a year ago.

This issue is truly disappointing. I wear long sleeves and gloves on my walks here in the pacific northwest and deal with the unintended pauses 10-20 times per hour. It is flat out unacceptable and staggering that fitbit has not addressed this. Clearly they know nothing about testing hardware use cases.
I do hope they address this, I like the other features of the Blaze. However, until they do, I cannot recommend this product to my friends.

Just an update, ran 10 miles this last weekend. Stopped to rest for a bit 6 miles in (paused the run). Without touching my arm on its own felt it buzz again a few minutes later and end of run.....no recovery. If you do long distance anything do NOT buy this watch until they fix it (if they can). Was not even wearing long sleeves.

My best suggestion would be to go to the Feature Requests search for screen lock and add your vote and comment here

I am having this same issue! I thought it was related to my long sleeve shirt being a little damp... when I am working out i would feel it vibrate/pause... I dont even know how many times i had to unpause it during a work out but it was annoying.
I had to tuck my shirt behind the tracker to get it to stop, however this defeats the purpose of the Heart rate monitoring...

Mine was pausing in my long sleeve shirt and ended my workout 10 minutes before I was actually done!

I see that at least one person has experienced spontaneous pausing in a workout. I have just had a workout (dance fitness) not only pause...but seemingly complete "accidentally." Hard to believe I inadvertantly hit not only the bottom/right of the screen, but also the top/right! Luckily, I noticed the results screen, so I could restart a workout. So it's a two-parter in my activity log. Any advice, besides not touching the screen by accident during a workout?

I encountered the same issue. My workaround is to actually start the workout, then cover the watch with the hand wraps. I have done this about 6 times or so and it has been working most of the time. The better/logical solution would be for allowing to back out of the workout screen while it is running OR leverage the buttons to start/pause.

Same issue mountain biking. Seems like a software fix, if the pause required a 3 second hold it wouln't be an issue. One tap is all it takes to ruin a work out. Please update firmware.

lost track of how often my blaze has paused while I'm out running, there must be something that can be done (firmware) to stop the screen being so sensitive. I also find that my pebble doesn't lock into the holder as well as it should (probably cause It gets removed every second day to be charged, not gett 5 days use between charging) meaning the buttons are being pressed by the holder and my pebble's screen is becoming damaged. Emailed cutomer service about this and their solution is to send me a new holder and the advice that if I'm not happy with the blaze to go buy a new fitbit, I've only had the blaze since it was launched here in the UK in march.

Sorry I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm actually curious how you wear your fitbit during your Muay Thai workouts? I train a lot of Muay Thai/MMA and I'm really worried that if I wear mine it will get broken either from catching a punch or a misplaced kick. I don't dare wear it for any sort of ground work as it could injure my sparring partners or be easily torn off, but really want to try it out for the Muay Thai portions of my workout.
Wouldn't it be awesome if they made a neck choker strap for people like us that do a lot of contact sports?
