Turning exercise timer on and off

[KristenP25]

When I finish exercising I can not figure out how to stop my timer. Once I finally push something  (short of throwing it across the room) it will pause and ask if I want to end... and then I can’t figure out how to end the workout. Today it took me 8 minutes to end the workout!!! The screen that keeps appearing is the ”screen brightness” and “notifications”. Help!!!

Press left "button".  I forget exact sequence after that, but left button starts exit and maybe asks if you are done or just pausing or such.

Thanks!!! I only have 1 button though!!! 

[JohnnyRow]

Yes, and that's the button to press, and then follow the dialog.  I might include tapping different parts of screen.

Thanks! I’ll keep trying. Once I’m able to find the correct button navigating is easy. It’s just finding the right way to hit the button to reach the navigation that’s really hard!! Fingers crossed!!

1. When screen is displaying exercise details, details press side button
2. Screen will show paused screen (play icon in middle of screen), press side button again
3. Screen will show finish screen (finish flags top half, return arrow bottom half), tap the finish icon on the screen
4. Final exercise details will be shown, scroll on screen to bottom tick button, tap this to return to normal 'watch' screen.

 - If you hold the side button for too long, it will display a Screen Wake / Notifications screen, if you end up here hold the side button again until you return to the screen it was on before.

I shared your frustration the first times I tried to end an exercise, and spent a similar amount of time fighting with mine to stop it.

Oh my gosh. My timer got to 92 hours and I've tried every bit of advise online and nothing worked until this! Thank you!
