Poor vibration on a Sense

[Guy_]

Does anyone know how to improve the vibration on a Sense [already set to Strong] which does not work nearly as well as the original Versa, that was fine?

[Heather-S]

@Guy_ Probably not, it's a hardware function, so there probably isn't anything you can do other than setting it to Strong.

Thanks @Heather-S -  it gave me an idea.

Did some analysis and the reason for the poor Sense vibrate [and presumably Versa 3] immediately becomes obvious; it would seem to indicate it isn't done right in the firmware or hardware, and is not compatible with other watches.

The table of vibrations below shows the milliseconds to complete a vibration for the various watches in strong mode - cont = continuous

Versa 2

Sense

To get these results SimpleVibrate was used.

Anybody have an Ionic willing to see how it compares?
