Samsung Galaxy Watch is an amazing tool for tracking health, but some users are currently facing issues with it. Some users have reported that when they pause and resume their workout, the GPS and distance tracking functions don’t function properly.

Samsung Health app’s auto-pause feature is causing this Galaxy Watch issue. When you stop moving, this function pauses your workout, and when you start up again, it resumes. However, in some cases, after resuming your workout, your GPS location stops updating, and your workout distance doesn’t increase. This makes your workout data inaccurate.

Fortunately, Samsung has acknowledged the issue and explained that GPS and distance issues may arise when the auto pause functionality malfunctions. The community moderator also said that a software update is currently under development to resolve this problem.

Notably, this issue has been reported by many users, especially on models including Galaxy Watch 4, Galaxy Watch 5, Galaxy Watch 6, and Galaxy Watch 7 series. However, you can temporarily resolve the issue by disabling the Samsung Health app’s auto-pause function.

To do that, simply launch the Samsung Health app on your Galaxy Watch. Now, select the kind of activity you’re doing >> swipe right on the exercise screen to access the options >> on the exercise screen, swipe right to open the settings >> in the settings, turn off the auto-pause feature.  Your workout will continue tracking your distance and location without interruptions if you disable it.

Samsung advises updating the software on your Galaxy Watch to the most recent version. You can do this through the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone. Simply navigate to Watch Settings, choose Watch Software Update, and then click Download and Install.
