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.

    My Garmin watch doesn’t have it, but I’ve never got a false positive on my Garmin bike computer (I did get a true positive when I actually crashed once though). The Apple Watch I had previously gave me false positives sometimes though for no apparent reason (no abrupt stops or anything).
