Something funny about MoveIQ

I’ve just realized something funny about Move IQ in my F5+. I use a motorbike to go to work and back home every day. The Fenix thinks that I’m riding a bicycle when I come back home but it doesn't when I go from home to my job. Obviously it's the same road but in the morning doesn't detect it so.
I wonder the reasons why.

Yep, i had another fun one: it was raining i was walking (1,5 hours) holding the umbrella with my left hand (where i wear the watch), result: Move IQ told me i was doing stair stepper :rolleyes:

Lol, maybe we should find the strangest activity miss reporting. I wonder what it would say if you were watching a gentleman's recreational video ;)

There were some odd ones when MoveIQ first came out. What it thought someone was doing vs what they were actually doing. A safe one is digging holes for plants was considered swimming...
(I just always turn MoveIQ off)

More traffic, lower average speed, more stops on the return journey?

No, I have fenix 6 and venu, the same issue, I turned off move iq on both. I have used samsung and xiaomi, also was a same problem. Also they can increase steps when you are sitting in car :) I think it possible to understand bicycle or motorbike, bicycle can't have speed over 30-40 in city, if you r over that value - motorbike, like that, but maybe I'm wrong and that is not trivially.
