Garmin watch owners: does Incident Detection give you false positives as well? (lemmy.blackeco.com)

Hello all,

I have set up Incident Detection a few months back with the goal of alerting my partner if I ever fall off my bike on my commute.

All was well until a couple of months ago when it fired off twice at the same place in 24 hours, unnecessarily alarming my partner in the process.

I haven't thought about it until today, when it fired off once again, at the same place: a paved plaza in Paris (Denfert-Rochereau to be exact).

Does any one of you have had similar experiences? Do you know if there is a way to configure the feature's sensitivity or report false-positives? I have yet to find any related settings other than on/off in the Garmin app or on the watch.

Realistiquement les pavés de paris créent plus de vibrations qu'une chute (et sur un plus long terme). Encore une feature créée par des mecs qui vivent dans la silicone valley ou toutes les pistes cyclables sont lisses et où il ne pleut jamais etc.
