Incident Detection too sensitive [14.20]

ANT1
over 2 years ago

I've noticed that the incident detection feature on my Garmin 955 has become way too sensitive.
Lots of times when I stop from running for any reason, the incident detection is triggered.

For example, if I stop to take a photo, the incident detection is triggered. Even when I stop to cross a road, the incident detection is triggered in lots of situations.

I'm wondering if this is happening to more people or if it's a bug that needs to be fixed.

Thanks!

    For me it's happening after 14.20 update

    It has never happened to me, see if with a softreset it improves.

    Good morning. It has also happened to me lately, when I have done a sprint or series of sprints it jumps when I reduce the speed of said sprint. It is seen that they take care of us too much or watcus.... I hope that in the real case of incidents they will act effectively.ThinkingThinking

    This happened twice while i am cycling. first one just stopping at the traffic light and today stop at the café and it trigger after 10 minute while the bike is parking. I am going to raise ticket with support and see what they are going to say.

    Yep.  My Edge 830 has suddenly started alerting when I stop quickly and hit a bump in the roda - had to disable it until I can work out how to adjust it!

    Same for me for a instinct 2 , I had been using incident detection for a few months for mountain biking and never had a false alarm (also no crahes). In the last 2 weeks I had 4 false alarms, but not necessarily when breaking or going over rough terrain.

    Times that Incident Detection triggered for me:

    • I was pulling on a wire and it snapped. I hadn't fallen and wasn't injured, but the watch had sensed a jerk. (It would be triggering all the time if it considered the one it was strapped to.)
    • I tripped on a root and fell in a wooded area. No injury except to my pride as I landed among fallen leaves.
    • I tripped on a loose manhole cover and fell onto rough tarmac. I'm still recovering from that one.

    It seemed pretty accurate for running and walking activities.

    My incident detection went off about 10 times yesterday during an 11 mile run. It seemed to happen more when I was using course navigation with pace pro. I had to turn it off because I kept setting it off. I have no clue why it kept going off so frequently. I was not abruptly stopping. I'm on version 15.19.

    I have had Incident Detection trigger when I sat down on a low wall at the end of an uphill sprint. (OK, it was more of a flop than a "sit".)
