Charge 5 misreading the activity

[Buddie71]

My Charge 5 thought I’d had a swim today but I was actually walking.  Is there anything that can be done about this.

@Buddie71   Yes, you can change this.  When you tap on that "swim" to see the details, you will see a Categorize Exercise option.  Change it to walk.  Automatic tracking looks for repetitive motion patterns.  Usually pretty good, but not perfect.

Thank you. That’s great to know.

Hello @Buddie71 

I don't know if you do swim or not, but there's also another thing you can do as well as 'Categorize Exercise'.  If you go to the Exercise screen and tap on the Settings icon (a little cog in the top right), it brings up a list of exercises that are auto-recognized.  If there are any that you never do, you can tap on them and toggle them to Off to stop your tracker bringing them up.  

You can also change the length the Exercise needs to be before it's recognized by tapping on the number and scrolling to the number you prefer. When you've finished, tap to go back to the Exercise screen and tap Done in the top right corner.

It's probably a good idea to sync your Charge 5 afterwards so it's ready for the next time

Thank you that’s interesting. I’ll do that.
