Fenix 5X Phantom rep counts or no rep counts in strength training.

Background... I Created 3 strength training workouts and loaded to the watch. Tried it out for the first time this morning. I've used Google Fit Workout on WearOS for a long time, so I roughly know what to expect.

Some sets everything was just fine, maybe a missed rep. However other sets, in the first fraction of a second once the set started (before I could do any reps myself) the watch would accumulate between 3 and 9 reps almost instantly. In the sets that this happened, it would not register any of my actual exercise reps.

Has anyone seen this?

Your example where sets went well that may occasionally require a rep not recorded being adjusted in the Connect Mobile APP, is the normal on what to expect. The ghost reps that your watch gave you without actually doing the reps, is not normal behavior. The reps being done are seen by your altimeter sensor picking up the motion of the set type. If the behavior continues, please contact Outdoor Wearables Product Support and we will gladly help resolve your issue.

Chris, thank you for confirming my suspicion that this is not normal behavior. I will continue to monitor the situation and will seek resolution should the abnormal behavior continue.
