Wrist gesture randomly turning the backlight on

Is anyone else having a problem when the watch turns the backlight almost all the time while running? I only realized this by running in the dark and noticing that the backlight was turning itself on continuously almost all the time without me actually doing the wrist gesture. I disabled the feature now and the battery last a lot longer too.

Yes, had the same issue the last couple of weeks with my FR45 - only since it updated to software v5.10, I think. Suddenly was hypersensitive to movement which meant it was basically jammed on 100% of the time and hooning through the battery. By chance while fiddling through menus looking for the software version I found the option to disable the gesture-activated lighting (although a couple of days later this feature appeared to have spontaneously re-enabled itself and I had to turn it off again mid-run this morning).
