So I wanted to see what the vivoactive does with regards to automatic activity tracking. Yesterday I cycled for 12 minutes or so twice for an errand. I saw something briefly show up at the top of the app, but then it vanished. In the evening I went for a run, and afterwards the same happened. So I suppose the activity gets recognised but not saved. Where might the error be?
I looked at the garmin website and went through the list of issues. The only thing I found was that
a) I keep on setting running recognition to 3 minutes in the app, yet it reverts back to 1 every time I open that menu again. It's still at 3 minutes in the watch
b) auto pause was activated in walking. as I wasn't walking this should not play a role I think, but I switched it off nonetheless.
I'll go to the market a bit later, and this should certainly be about an hour walking. Thus it should again register. We'll see. Until then: are there other things I should check?
