Garmin watch owners: does Incident Detection give you false positives as well? (lemmy.blackeco.com)

Hello all,

I have set up Incident Detection a few months back with the goal of alerting my partner if I ever fall off my bike on my commute.

All was well until a couple of months ago when it fired off twice at the same place in 24 hours, unnecessarily alarming my partner in the process.

I haven't thought about it until today, when it fired off once again, at the same place: a paved plaza in Paris (Denfert-Rochereau to be exact).

Does any one of you have had similar experiences? Do you know if there is a way to configure the feature's sensitivity or report false-positives? I have yet to find any related settings other than on/off in the Garmin app or on the watch.

I have incident detection on my watch, bike computer, and helmet... And disable them all because I don't want to deal with false positives 🫣
