To STOP segments during a workout on Apple Watch:

I just had the same thing happen on my brand new Ultra2 today—my first Apple watch ever. This bug ruined the very first run I took. I had no idea how long I had run, so I had to restart the workout about five times.

Before I, too, bail on Apple for a better sports watch, can anyone report whether a running app like Strava installed on the watch gets around this problem?

I called Apple support about the segment problem and after a long wait and a disconnection, she called me back and told me that if you want if you don’t want segments you tap on the app if you want segments you have you tap twice so if you open the app and tap twice, that’s why you got segments. I hope this helps.

Thanks! I was able to turn off segments and when I scrolled down to preferences I was able to choose "include heart rate zone" for hiking workout. I spent half on hour on the phone with AppleCare trying to find out how to do that (turn on heart rate zone on the watch.) They said it couldn't be done.

Today I was cycling to work and my apple watch created 11 segments out of nowhere.

I will try to use Strava instead Apple Workouts to make sure if the problem is the app or the watch, but for sure a lot of people here is having the same issue and Apple should take a look on it.

I couldn't agree more. As soon as I wear a rain jacket on a walk or hike I start getting ridiculous alerts and segment screens. Incredibly annoying and completely and totally useless. Today I had 17 segment alerts in less than ninety seconds - most of them for a single metre.

I have exactly the same problem. I called Apple support 3-4 times on the issue when it was watchOS 10. Now with watchOS 11 the problem is still there. My sleeve skips music tracks, drops segment marks and today (a whole new experience) it checked in with my friend during the workout!for all the buzz words machine learning andAI Apple is totally impotent to solve this annoying problem!

Better mark your post solved to avoid people trying to help you as you have no problem.

I have the same exact issue! Please let us know how to disable this!!

Same here.

Just get a Garmin watch!!

Today's update is supposed to fix a "false touch" issue some users are having, so maybe this problem has been addressed.

Nope, it was snowing a little and I got 10 unwanted segments on a 3 mile walk. Some when the watch was completely covered by my jacket.

What update are you referring to please

10.4
