Move IQ issues with the Viviactive 3

From the Manual of the Vivoactive 3:

"The Move IQ feature automatically detects activity patterns, such as walking, running, cycling, swimming, and elliptical training, for at least 10 minutes. You can view the event type and duration on your Garmin ConnectTm timeline, but they do not appear in your activities list, snapshots, or newsfeed. The Move IQ feature can automatically start a timed activity for walking and running, and it appears in your activities list. You can view the full details of timed activities on your Garmin Connect account."

1. On Garmin Connect I can see that my daily bicycle rides to and from work are detected about 50% and the short dog walks about 60%. What is your expirience?

2. I tried to turn on the automatic recording. All I got were false alarms, I think always after the watch detected moving after a period of not moving! Took me a long time to find out what caused this alarms. Nothing special shown on the watch, the watch just vibrating, then for some seconds not, then vibrating for some seconds again, off again for some minutes, then strong vibrating again. The hole thing over again and over again when I dared to get up from my computer at work, from my bed in the morning .... But I never got any activity recorded. Does this feature work for anybody?
