I just got the Charge 5, and yesterday, it recorded 22 minutes of swimming while I was sitting on my couch.  I got an alert of "Nice! Auto recognized 22 minute swim. Check it out!", checked the app, and yup, there it was.  I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this odd behavior.  I'm trying to figure out how me reclining on the couch, scrolling through Twitter, resembles swimming in any way.  It's just... weird.

@Sue-Sue Hi there. Thanks for the detailed information shared. 

 

I see where you're coming from. It's odd what you experienced. 

 

To delete the swimming and Active Zone Minutes awarded, follow the procedure mentioned on this article. To avoid this in the future, you could increase the time of activity auto recognition. 

 

Hope this helps.
