Sense button activates when bending my wrist

Hi all

Have you noticed if the button of the sense gets activated (i.e. Voice assistant or shortcut to apps) just by pressing the watch against your wrist?

Yeah but mine brings up Fitbit pay, during an exercise on the treadmill or elliptical, who is going to buy something with their watch during an exercise? But my credit card shows up, instead of exercise app, tried buying steps or calories to burn... 

Fitbit Ionic 72.1.15 (recalled), Fitbit Sense 128.6.17 and Pixel Watch 2 BP1A.250305.019.W3, March 2025.

@SenseUserTN Welcome on board. @Jdsenter It's good to see you again.

Thanks for the details provided and for your feedback. As you notice, your Sense's button might be unintentionally pressed when you bend your wrist or if you're doing activities that require you to move your wrist a lot. I'm sorry for this inconvenience and let me recommend wearing your watch higher on your wrist to avoid hitting the button. In case you'd also like to customize your side button shortcuts, you can see this help article and follow the instructions under "Use button shortcuts".

Hope this helps.

Hi 

Thanks for your reply. Actually I followed all instructions on how to wear the fitbit during and after the training. However I am no saying that the button is gettion on skin would touch it an activate it. It actually turns on while pushing under (where the sensors are) the watch. Is that normal? I guess no, right?

I am feeling so disappointed!!

I though I was getting an upgrade from my old Charge 3 and reading all the bad reviews and also experiencing some of those on my own 😫😫😫
