It’ll get better with updates. Dismissing notifications and turning timers off whilst I’m cooking is how I’ve used it.

Not sure why you would want a double-tap to pause a workout. The reality would be there would be so many accidental pauses your workout won't be tracked properly.
I use Quick Actions as I'm on Series 7 but for me the benefits have been: closing notifications, playing and pausing music, taking photos without needing to look down and press the button, stopping timers and snoozing alarms.
I used Quick Actions for a few weeks on my Series 7 and never accidentally paused a workout. But since it does work to pause a workout, it was really nice being able to do so when I had the feature enabled.
What was far more likely to happen was I double-pinched in an attempt to pause, but nothing registered. This generally happened when I wasn’t standing up.
I’ve never seen an option to pause the workout, only unpause. Are you sure you’ve paused the workout before?
I’ve never used it once so far.
It hardly ever even works for me
I mostly use it to skip songs and I love it. Just raise my wrist and double tap. Probably look a bit silly with long sleeves, but eh.
This is exactly what I planned to use it for primarily, and it’s SO inconsistent for me! When I’m driving, sometimes it works flawlessly, and then suddenly it won’t work no matter what I do. It’s gotten to the point where it’s just incredibly frustrating. What’s the secret to your success?!
If they would allow me to silence my calls with double tap, it’d be an instant win for me. I don’t want to talk to most of my calls 😅
It’s so inconsistent, clearly not a finished product.
I’ve got an awu2 and I haven’t used double tap yet… what’s it even supposed to do?
It’s new, it will evolve with updates.
