Accidental pause

[MartinJustMarti]

I do routines that often involve runs interspersed with exercise like burpees, pushups, sit-ups etc. My problem is my watch frequently pauses the exercise during pushups and burpees. I think the angle of my wrist is pressing the pause buttom (bottom right one) during the movement.

Is their anyway to "lock" the watch so it doesn't do this? Having a fitness watch not designed to cope with an exercise like pushups seems unlikely, so their must be a way.

There is no such provision.

This is a problem. Will force others to return devices. Solution would be to disable hard button. The only way to pause woud be on screen button. PROBLEM FIXED.

Couldn't agree more. My fitbit is almost useless for body weight workouts as it pauses so much during  exercises where my wrist flexes.

I was just looking for an answer to this. Today, my watch paused 45 minutes of an hour on the treadmill. Ticked me off. I don't like having to constantly check my watch to see if it's paused. There needs to be a lock.
