I just got my Versa 3 and this was one of the first things I noticed about it. The side button has been placed in a location where it is constantly being pressed . It activates during all sorts of normal hand / wrist movement. Push ups activate it, burpees, bench press, typing on a keyboard, drinking, folding laundry, basically any time your wrist bends back, the button is pressed. If you wear it on your left wrist, your arm activates it, if you wear it on your right wrist, your hand activates it. For me, it seems like a wasted feature. I am currently trying to figure out how to turn it off so it doesn't activate. I also think it is the culprit for why my last two workouts didn't track.
It almost seems like the watch didn't go through any rigorous R & D testing before it was released. I don't know how this could have been missed.
Any one else?

New findings. I'm not finding a way to totally disable the button and it IS pausing workouts right after they start.
Oof... I might need to return this.
@Fitbit any chance you guys are going to release a firmware update to allow the button to be totally disabled?
