Apple Watch pausing while workout

My Apple Watch is pausing while workout - every 3-5 seconds after I press resume! Any idea how to fix it? Currently rebooting my watch.

Go to the watch app on the phone and tap on workout,turn off running autopause and end workout reminder.

Or on the watch in settings/workout and turn them off there.

Or;

When you start your workout slide right on the screen and tap on lock,then when you finish the workout turn the digital crown in one continuous movement to turn the lock off then slide right again and tap on end.

Tighten the watch band a touch.

Don't wear the watch on top of any tattoos.

Is your sleeve catching on the side buttons or on the screen itself?

I've done the settings

It's literally like im looking at the watch face - resuming workout - and while my hand is up - its getting auto paused (while my HB is like 160, so im not at rest) I did this 20 times during workout today.

And no, my watch did not fall or go through any trauma. So it is quite weird!

RESOLVED! I had a thread I was wearing on my left wrist. The sensor doesn't like having anything talking to it. I removed it, and now its ok. Apparently same thing with tattoos even! Skin has to be in direct contact with the sensor.
