My Apple Watch is stuck on Road Cycling workout

My Apple smart watch is “stuck” on Road Cycling.

Pushing the “Finish” button does nothing; it does not respond. Pressing the crown gets me back to my normal watch face for anout 10 seconds, then it returns to “Road Cycling”.

Have you tried to restart it to see if the issues persist? If a normal restart is not working, you might want to try a forced restart


press and hold both the side button and the Digital Crown simultaneously for at least 10 seconds. The Apple logo should appear, indicating the restart process has begun.  Don’t do this when updating watchOS
