How do I get the AW to stop using e-scooter rides as activity? (alien.top)
 

Upon starting my ride, I got a prompt saying "it looks like you're riding a bike, would you like to start a cycling workout?" and I selected "mute for today" and went on with my ride. At the end of my ride, I got credited with a bunch of "move" activity and it says I burned 800 calories as if I was working out or something. Scooters don't take any physical effort to ride so I feel like I cheated by closing out my rings.

Nope this is false, you can turn it off or even set it to on during workouts.

Open the Apple Watch App, go to Emergency SOS, and then you can toggle it from there.

I think there are two types of detection. Fall detection and risk of falling alerts. I have the fall detection only turned on while in a workout. I have the 2nd gen SE. You can also turn it off completely.

fall detection too, i think it's on by default when a workout is detected

Is there a feature or app to track distance without recording a workout? in c/[email protected]

For example, I have an e-bike that I want to take for a long ride to see how many miles I can go before the battery dies. But since this e-bike has a throttle and is not actually exercise, I don't want to log a cycling workout. I just want to know how far I traveled.

And if there's nothing like that on the watch, what about the iPhone?

Is it normal for the Apple Watch to get a little warm during charging? (alien.top)
 

I have a new to me AW SE 2nd Gen and it came with a generic no name brand USB charging puck. I noticed that my watch gets warm during charging, but not super hot or anything. Charging speeds seem unaffected. Should I err on the side of caution and just get an official charging puck from Apple?

Does auto brightness override the manual brightness adjustment after a period of time? (alien.top)
 

I was under the impression that all Apple Watches have auto brightness that detects how bright the screen should be, but I also see that there's a dial to adjust the brightness yourself. Does one override the other after a period of time? How do I get auto brightness back on if I've made adjustments with the dial at some point?
