I just got the Versa and ❤️ It except i’m having a hard time when I wear my kickboxing gloves. Regular gloves cover the Versa and the touch screen goes on and off and to different screens. The fingerless gloves keep hitting the side buttons, which is especially a problem when I’m using the exercise app. It keeps pausing/stopping. 

Anyone have this issue and found a solution? So frustrating!! Thank you

@Crlyn324 Welcome! It's good that the community is growing! That quite a predicament there, you either have something activating the screen or the buttons. What I can suggest is try using a sport wristband when wearing the regular gloves, this would isolate the screen from the gloves. For the training gloves maybe wear it a little bit looser and higher up your arm, again you can secure it with a sport wristband so it isn't falling off.

 

Let me know how it goes!

none of your suggestions work. it is frustrating to be weightlifting for 45 minutes and at the 44th minute, the whole thing is cancelled. and not reflected in the history (yes reflected in activity minutes) but not in workout history. FRUSTRATING. I have to wear wrist supporting gloves when weight lifting and the versa has disappointed. with my charge 2, i was able to wear it on the left arm to avoid the ONE button from being repeatedly pressed. THIS is not possible with the versa. some huge design flaw this is.


NOT to mention the super weak alarm vibrations.
