I find that Inspire 3 can auto detect the start of the walk, but in my case it usually detects the stop of the walk quite late. I confirm from the device screen that the "auto start" and "auto stop" are on. (The message from "auto stop" says it will terminate the record if it detects no exercise for 5 minutes.)
The figures below is a walk log, which is an extreme case I encountered. I worked at my desk most of the time, but it counted everything into the walk log starting in the morning.
Months ago I've changed the duration of auto recognizing the walk from the default 15 minutes to 10 minutes. I am wondering whether this duration setting may affect the sensitivity of exercise recognition or not. (I mean, for example, if I set it to 10 minutes, whether it's more likely to recognize my wrist movement of keyboard typing as walking.) I am also wondering that, besides manually pressing stop, are there any settings to more accurately detect walk stopping. (Since we're distributing Fitbit to participants, particularly patients, for research study, we try to understand more about how it processes data and the data validity without participant intervention.) Thank you!
