I recently turned off the Auto Start and Auto Stop function for my walks and runs because I prefer to manually start tracking myself.
Just walking a set distance, say going to the store takes me 10 minutes, later when I see the app, Charge 6 tracked that walk as Exercise Walk. Why is it doing this when I have Auto Start off? Or does Auto Detect over-ride Auto Start? If so, What's the point of Auto Start and Auto Stop then?
Also for Auto Pause, how long do I have to pause for Charge 6 to automatically pause? Say if in the middle of my jog, I needed to stop to tie my shoe laces? Then once I start jogging again, does it immediately start tracking again?

The auto start stop are individually set per type of exercise. However I don't see an event for exercise walk. Maybe a restart of the tracker will help, but that is just a guess.

No I have them in the individual exercise. I'm not missing them. I'm questioning the relevant uses.
I fail to see the difference between Auto Start and Auto detect. I set Auto Start off but my Charge 6 still auto detect the exercise anyway.

On the Charge 6, i checked 6 exersises. Some exercises have a toggle for Auto Start, while others have a toggle for Auto Detect. I'm going io assume that different developers programed different detection of different events, and the head programmer did set the required wording for the auto detect function. A minus point for Fitbit the head programmer.
The relevent uses? The user doesnt have to think abkut manually starting the walk. When it gets a little warmer than 18°F with 5-10 mph winds, I'll see what my tracker does with auto detect off.
