Does anyone else struggle with the double tap feature on the Charge 5 after swimming? It takes me ages to unlock it to stop the workout, is there a technique I’m doing wrong? Thanks.

It's not only after swimming. Many times I try to wake it up by double tapping but nothing, if you flick your wrist it works...

I've just watched a couple of YouTube videos and it seems to work better if you take the watch off and put it on the table and firmly tap, not sure if that's helpful to either of you.

The touch screen doesn't require a tap like the older, non touch screen models, I find a touch, like the touch while typing on a phones keyboard, works best.
