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.
I’ve had a few false alarms on my Garmin. They were all situations where I stopped very quickly, once after going off the road, but I kept the bike upright every time.
On the other hand, it didn’t go off when the guy in front of me took out my front wheel at 40 mph a few weeks ago. I didn’t fall them either, but I slowed down very quickly (and my heart rate went up very quickly). So I’m not sure how it’s triggered.
