My Garmin kept accidentally calling people in the shower — here’s the simple fix

My Garmin watch has recently been getting into hot water, and I mean that literally. I’m wearing the Garmin Venu 4 pretty much all the time these days, including on runs, in the gym, in the sea and in the shower.

Unfortunately, this has given rise to an unexpected problem. Four times now, I’ve noticed in the shower that I’ve been on an unintentional phone call, usually to my Dad, who’s first in my contacts list on my watch. This is caused by the cascading water in the shower activating the watch’s touchscreen, but it’s very odd that it reacts the same way each time.
