Hello @decadeca
Yes, there is a Walk activity you can start and stop from your Charge 5 if you want to.
From the Today screen in the App, tap your profile picture, then Charge 5. Scroll down to Exercise Shortcuts, choose one you’d like to remove by swiping left to delete it. Then go to + Exercise Shortcut and select Walk. Sync your Charge 5 and it should show up under Exercise on your tracker. You can then manually start and stop it to measure your walk as an activity.
Auto Recognize: If you tap on your profile picture and go down to Activity and Wellness, tap, then select Exercise, you can see which activities it Auto Recognizes and how long it takes to recognize them. It looks like the default is 15 minutes but you can change that if you like by tapping on the number. You’d then have to save and sync.
When it Auto Recognizes GPS isn’t switched on. I expect if Walk is set to an Exercise Shortcut you can scroll up and turn it on before you confirm the start.
Wearing your Charge 5 on a different wrist to the setting in your App, dominant or non-dominant, can also affect your stats as it calculates movements differently based on the dominance.
I hope that helps.
Also you’d need to turn on GPS for the map of your walk to be shown in your App. In that case, starting and stopping it as an official activity from your Charge 5 would be the best way. GPS will use about 10% of your battery during that hour.
