I find that my Blaze will pause accidently when wearing a long sleeve shirt. Be nice if pausing required you to swipe instead of just tapping. This I believe would stop accidental pauses.

I do agree with this and have many times the same problem.
Even when I turn off the "auto turn on screen when wrist raised" does not solve the problem as you can simply tap the screen to turn it on during excercise. Blaze thiks a sweaty sleeve is the same as a finger.
Swiping or buttons would do the trick in pausing and stopping the excercise. Would like to get the asap. Very annoying now.

I am so bummed with this! it would be fine as long as the auto detect thing worked and would kick in. My surge did that. I could then go and categorize them as needed. I just did a three hour Fencing session and my workout only shows 56 minutes... grrr.
I found that if i turned my surge upside down it would not pause automatically, I will try that fencing on monday.
if want a solid case that I can wrap it up in so that it's protected AND won't shut off on me! or a way that we can set it so that we need some combination of swipe and button push to pause the exercise.

My Blaze quits tracking even with a short sleeve shirt. Nothing has touched it. Twice now it stopped completely while biking. The first time I thought I had caused it, so today I didn't touch it after I tapped go. It seems to quit around 40 minutes into a ride.

Hey there @EdBogan! I would like you to provide me with more details about what you experienced.
- Are you using Blaze and MobileRun?
- Is the map disappearing or the whole exercise?
- Are you using Android or iOS?
Keep me posted.

I'm using a iPhone 6 and am linked to it for gps tracking. It shut off completely and went to the watch screen.

Sounds to me like it paused and either stayed paused for too long and ended the workout or it paused and then said it was done. I had this happen to me as well.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

again guys..
I switched the direction of my watch so that it read upside down. and it did NOT pause for the hour that I was fencing on Monday. I have a longer session coming up Sat and will test again.
Try it and see if it helps you too.

Hey guys @citradelic @MikeColwill and @EdBogan! It's pretty weird that this is still happening. I would like you to make sure that your tracker doesn't touch your wrist at all, so it doesn't pause.
Here are some tips in how to properly wear it:
Additionally, you may want to vote for this idea Make Pause and Stop on the Blaze harder.
Hope this helps.

I agree it has nothing to do with wearing the device correctly. It has everything to do with how easy it is to pause and end the workout. Which I find incredibly funny since changing the display from Distance to Heart Rate or anything else is at times extremely difficult.

no the real problem is When you bend your wrist it accidentally can hit the right bottom button and pause the workout
