Accidental button push with bent wrist

I have gone for two runs with my new Sense and have found on both occasions that the run was paused due to accidental button pushing with a bent wrist.  Never happened with my Ionic and can't imagine a software fix for this one.  May need to jump to Garmin or Apple.  Shame after 11 years with Fitbit.  Can't believe they didn't encounter this during testing.  My wrist isn't that big.

@toddspar I found this sometime happens to me when doing weights. I just flip the watch around so it touches the bottom of my wrist. I guess for running it's a bit weird. Perhaps you could try wearing the watch higher?

I found that I have to wear the watch on my left hand primarily because of this too. But I did find that if the band is too tight, I would get false button pushes. Try loosening your band. 

 

It would be great if the screen would flip when you change hands in a setting, so that you can wear the watch with the button on the other side.

After reading a few of threads I found loosening the band and wearing it an inch or so further up the arm both stabilized the watch and prevented this issue.
