I traded in my Versa 2 for a sense and I’m regretting it already - the side button keeps getting pushed when I do certain work outs where my wrist is bent - the Versa 2 never did this. It’s very annoying to keep getting voice controls, Alexa’s, paused workouts etc while I’m in the middle of working out. Am i doing something wrong? Can you turn the sensitivity down? I’ve moved the watch up higher, lower, turned everything and nothing helps

The button isn't actually as touch-sensitive as it might seem. Tapping it doesn't actually get a response. It's a combination of the area needing to be fully covered and it's almost like a squeeze to get a response. I haven't personally accidentally paused my workouts or activated Google Assistant and I do weights, push-ups, pull-ups, etc. That being said, I have skinny arms and wrists. I know they recommend having a snug fit for heart rate monitoring but try loosening it one notch.
