Apple Watch “auto” pause during fitness

I’ve owned three Apple Watches including the brand new ultra. Every watch, for years has had same frustrating problem - using the activity app, while working out, the watch automatically pauses. Nothing is more frustrating than to be running on a treadmill and look down to find my watch paused 15 mins into my run.

I’ve tightened my watch. I’ve reinstalled the watch set up. I’ve turned off “auto pause” and nothing works. I do have tattoos. On both wrists. I have sleeves. I find it rather astonishing that this technology fails due to “pigment” issues with tattoos. Most fitness “people” have tattoos. I expect more from Apple. I’m sick of excuses and false fixes that really seem more geared towards giving me “busy work” to go try, knowing it won’t work.

when is a REAL fix be issued to resolve this problem? People are buying “fitness watches” to use during fitness. If the watch auto pauses, the results and analytics of the data is flawed and useless for the user.

HELP!
