Vivoactive 5 too sensitive?

Former Member over 1 year ago

Hello, I have recently bought the Vivoactive 5 - I’m just wondering if any other owner of the watch thinks it’s far too sensitive with arm movement? Compared to my Apple Watch it says doing between 1000-1500 steps more than I’m actually doing? This is just for daily wear too?

I think that setting adjusts the sensitivity of wrist turn gesture that makes the screen go brighter, it has nothing to with counting steps as the OP is asking about.
