Can't stop an activity and discard/save for pool swim activity

For some reason I can't stop an activity, I start the activity using button A and I can stop it using the same button.

It then has the Distance, green Icon next to the A button and red X next to the B button.

The instructions now say that I should swipe down to discard or swipe up to save the activity, a swipe action of any kind doesn't do anything.  The only thing I can do is wait for approx 15 minutes and it will save automatically.

Any ideas?

    Try to tap the green area, instead of swiping. That's what I do, even though I think swiping works as well.

    When in an activity, push top button to pause.

    Then, the action to discard/save an activity is to tap on the red "bin with an X" at the top / green "check mark" at the bottom. Not swipe.

    Thanks for responding to this but none of the above work, there is no reaction on the watch if I swipe up/down or if I tap on the green area or on the red area.  Doesn't seem to do anything.

    If I press the top button to stop the activity, if I press the top button again it simply assumes I'm starting again (see treats it as an interval).

    If I use the bottom button to stop the activity it automatically (and correctly I think) assumes this is an interval.

    So right now the only way to stop the activity and save it is to press the top button and then just wait for some crazy amount of time for the watch to automatically save it.

    Do you think there is something wrong with the watch?

    You can't stop activity with the buttons. Top button(during activity) is pause/resume, bottom button is lap button.

    During activity:

    To save an activity, pause it with the top button, then tap on the bottom of the screen on the green check mark.

    To discard activity, pause it with the top button then tap once the top of the screen on the red trash bin with an x. A warning message appears that the activity will be discarded. Tap again to delete.

    If tapping on the top red/bottom green doesn't do anything, then your touchscreen might be faulty.

    Does it work when you tap or swipe top/bottom parts of the screen outside a workout?

    Or could this be the pool swimming activity? It acts differently.

    yes, it is the pool swimming activity :-)

    Then the trick is to long click the top button.

    PERFECT !!!

    Thanks very much, I assume this is some intelligence in that the screen face might be wet :-)

    Thanks for all the help.
