Has anyone else had the issue of turning off auto-detect for all exercises however the watch still buzzes while I'm on a walk saying "Walk Detected"??

@PotterPower  This is happening because of a feature that is in the Exercise app and is different from the exercise auto recognition you are used to.  Select the Walk shortcut and swipe up on the tiny “^” at the bottom of the screen.  Look for the Walk Detect (or similar words) and toggle it off.

 

Fitbit put Run Detect starting with the Versa and it is on by default.  Fitbit added it to the Walk and Bike shortcuts in the Versa 4 and Sense 2.

Somethings not right? I turned all auto exercise items to Ignore and still it Auto detects walk (Versa 4). I now set all exorcises to 90 minutes. Let see it that works? Also, the Walk Detect was toggle to OFF?
