Logging exercise incorrectly even with settings on "do not log exercise"

ANSWERED

Can anybody help with this? My Charge 6 keeps logging driving and other activities as bike riding...even when I mowed the lawn the other day it gave me a map of my movements across my back yard...I mean it would be impossible to ride a bike at 100km/hr and not have my pulse rate change so I feel this Fitbit isnt very smart. Anyway, how do I stop this happening? I have already changed all settings to not automatically detect exercise.

Hello @huqwehiuerwhfuc and welcome to the Community.  The Charge 6 has an additional feature that can activate the Exercise app.  It is different from the exercises you set to ignore.  Open your Exercise app and choose Bike.  I don't use a Charge 6, but I think you swipe up to go to the specific settings.  Look for Bike Detect and toggle it off.  There is also a Walk Detect and Run Detect.  If you don't want these options, toggle them off in the individual Walk and Run shortcuts.

Mowing the lawn with a wrist worn tracker will often lead to useless results.  Wrist worn trackers need arm movement to count steps.  Your hand grip can create a type of muscle movement artifact that interferes with the heart rate monitor.  I don't have any good suggestions to get good data.
