Gear S3 issue while on a motorcycle

[shaolinfinest]

I am not sure if there is something I can change in the settings to fix or if I am the only one dealing with this issue. What is happening is when I ride on my motorcycle, the Gear S3 thinks I am riding on a bicycle and starts counting it towards my fitness app. Crazy thing is it also kicks into bicycle mode when I am in my car driving at 100 mph or greater. My Gear S2 also did the same. Anyone else dealing with this or have some guidance? Besides not going 100mph in a car, more help on the motorcycle

I ride my motorcycle and the gear s3 frontier will refularly auto start a cycling workout. I saw earlier someone said there's a setting to stop auto workouts or change which activities are auto detected. I just haven't gone in to change.

Go to S Health settings on you watch, scroll down under settings to "WORKOUT DETECTION" and turn off the ones you don't want.

on your watch go to the Samsung Health app, scroll to the right to Settings. Scroll down to Workout Detection and turn off

Thank you. I have been trying to figure this out since the Gear S2. Thank you all for the response. This was annoying me because of the false data.

This. I had it do it to me in my car on the interstate frequently.

Yes, this happened to me as well, and I had to shut off the auto detect for bicycling.

More importantly, a motorcycle ride also set off my SOS button transmission without my knowledge. MY girlfriend was freaking out later when I learned she was alerted of the SOS by phone and text with my GPS location. I have turned that feature off as well. I'm not sure if it was the angle of my wrist on the handlebar grip and my glove and/or jacket pressing the button, and/or the vibrations from the motorcycle engine. Whatever the case, it was not something I am willing to risk happening again.
