Incident Detection "are you ok" screen hidden by post-workout "threshold detected" screen

I get home from a run. It was a pretty good one, and longer than usual for me. So, when I stopped the workout, I was DONE - I'd check stats after I had a few minutes to recover. Before touching anything in the kitchen, to get a drink, I went to wash my hands. While doing that, I went ahead and took off my watch, to wash the sweat off it. At some point in the washing process, it starts beeping and vibrating. I check the screen, and it's just showing the "threshold detected" screen that had presumably been there since the end of the workout. Not being overly concerned, and not wanting to press any buttons while the watch was soapy, I proceeded to rinse it off, then dry it. As I was starting to dry the watch, a new screen came up, saying it had notified my emergency contacts of my incident. I was glad to see I had the option to send an "I'm ok" message as well, but I still felt the need to make a quick phone call to a somewhat less tech-savvy emergency contact, to avoid causing unnecessary stress.

TL;DR

Here's my feedback/bug report: The Incident Detection "are you ok" screen should take priority over ALL other screens, and there's least one that it doesn't: the post-workout "threshold detected" screen.

  • I turn off my watch when I wash it after my workouts. Considering it's a computer, I think that frequent reboots are good computer hygene...

  • Yeah, I'm definitely NOT complaining that it detected an incident while being washed vigorously by hand. If it ever went through those same motions while attached to my wrist, it would probably be appropriate to notify next of kin, or at least my emergency contacts.Sweat smile

    My complaint is that it didn't display the screen that would let me cancel the incident. It just kept showing the "threshold detected" screen, with no indication of wtf the beeping and vibrating was about, only updating the display after the help request was sent to my emergency contacts, reporting that it had done so.

  • - thanks for this report! You're right, this is not a good use-case: the Incident Detection screen should always be on top. I've opened a bug report for this.

  • Today I had the similar problema, during an activity the watch had send an incident allert
