Workout not ending on Apple Watch

Suddenly from two days ago, my workouts don’t finish even after I push the “end” button on my Apple Watch SE.

In order to get the green sensor light to switch off I have to force restart my watch.

Are there any known bugs or fixes for this?

Apple Watch keeps pausing during workout My Apple Watch started behaving strangely one week ago. For two years it never had a problem. Now it keeps pausing during workouts. Oftentimes it starts pausing after 4' 47" .... occasionally it stops every 10-11 seconds over and over.... (like 10-15 times in a row). No tatoos, nothing touches the crown (I am sure about it), auto-pause off, detection of the end of the work-out is off, the watch is neither tight nor loose (same position as in the previous 2 years). Anybody has a suggestion? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple watch slow and unresponsive Anyone having the same issue? The watch no longer recognises activities that I’m doing and will sometimes randomly start tracking my activity as a workout when I’m sitting.

If you already tried the restart the next thing to do is unpair it and set it up as a new watch (don't restore the backup) You will only lose the saved faces and some preferences
