Hi,
I’ve had my charge 6 for about a week. I hade a 5 that got replaced (warranty). Now every time I take a walk, it starts an exercise that I must manually remember to finish. The 5 didn’t do that. It just added some ”walks” if I’d been walking. Now I get a 40 minutes walk bc I went to the store (10 minutes) and forgot to press finish.
I still want it to register my walks as exercise, but is there a setting so that I won’t have to stop it manually?
TIA 🙂

@Alexbalex Your Charge 6 has a feature that isn't on a Charge 5. It will Auto-start the Exercise app for six shortcuts: Walk. Run, Bike, Elliptical, Rowing, and Spinning. Please follow these steps to turn it off. Swipe left/right on your Charge 6 and open the Exercise app. Select Walk. Swipe up on the tiny "^" on the screen to go to the walk settings. Look for Auto-start and toggle it off.
If you swim, please make sure you turn this off in Rowing, too. The movement patterns turn on the Rowing shortcut.
