Apple Watch 6 pauses 11 seconds into any workout no matter what fix I try.

My Series 6 pauses after 11 seconds no matter what the workout. I have tried every online fix I can find. I have used 4 different bands. I have no tattoos. I have turned off auto-pause and followed every suggestion I can find. The watch is up-to-date on its software. Nothing works. Is there a fix for this phenomenon or am I just destined to scrap this device?

Fieryjack, I have tried all of these things multiple times and none of them fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is if I turn off "wrist detection" from my iPhone.
