Charge 6 - Auto detects exercise class when not exercising.

[nsl1]

Has anyone else had their Fitbit Charge 6 automatically log a Fitness Class workout while just lying in bed before getting up? I'm not moving around much—just waking up slowly—and yet it logs a workout that I didn't actually do. What's even stranger is that "Fitness Class" isn’t one of the exercise shortcuts I've added to my Charge 6.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening or adjust the auto-detection sensitivity? Any help or tips would be appreciated!

Hello @nsl1 

A recent app update changed auto-detect to include more activities and allow more flexibility in the minimum time for auto-detect. This help page has the instructions on how to manage auto-track (<-- click link), but needs a few more clarification steps:

• Scroll up on the Activity page to Feature settings
• Tap on Auto-track activities to open the page
• You can tap on each activity to adjust the minimum time for auto-track, including Other workouts. You might consider changing the minimum time for Other workouts to a longer time, maybe 15 minutes or more

Please let us know if this helped.

I turned off other and aerobics auto detection and the issue has been resolved.

Hi @nsl1 

Thanks for letting us know that turning off auto detection for Other and Aerobics fix the issue you were seeing. This will help other users who are experiencing a similar problem. 👍

Turning off the exercises you do not do will also remove some of the load of the processor. You could see a snappier response to the display. 

With the older units, the quicker, snappier display was obvious.
