HELP! Versa pausing during boxing workout

[dizzneyfan]

I don't want to...but...I'm getting ready to return my Versa.  I take a group boxing class three times a week.  My Versa has paused several times during each workout.  It is so annoying to feel it pause/start/pause/start/pause vibrations during these classes.  I know that my wraps or gloves must be hitting the corner of the Versa.  I tried turning my watch around so the button is facing up instead of down towards my wrist.  It helped a bit but still paused several times. I am going to buy a cover for the Versa but I read that didn't help either.  There is no "autopause off" option for the kickboxing setting.   

Has anyone fixed this problem specifically during boxing classes?    

Thanks so much!

Hi @dizzneyfan,

If you search 'boxing' or 'martial arts', there are a few threads on the subject. I recall one person got a band-extender, and starting wearing it on the ankle. Wouldn't work for kickboxing, but it might for boxing.

I just got the Versa for Christmas and already annoyed at the poor design of the pause "feature" for workouts.

This used to happen to me all the time when hitting the bag.  I'm right handed and wear my watch on my left wrist.  When worn like this I would always find my workouts paused. So I switched wrists during those workouts and wore it on my right wrist instead. Now the pause button doesn't touch my glove anymore and it works fine throughout the workout.

Yes me too. Very unhappy
