Description

During long motor vehicle rides there's very likely a lot of introduced vibration which will make the watch wake up frequently and thus decimate the battery life.

The proposal is to count wake-up events in the last x minutes. If they're above a threshold, do a slightly longer accelerometer reading. If the stddev of acceleration is above some threshold, disable the wrist wakeup for next y minutes.

On the negative sides, I think an incorrectly disabled wakeup method is better than a drained battery.

Research direction

No files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by locating the wrist-wakeup handling and accelerometer event processing, then clarify the wake-up window, vibration thresholds, and disabling duration. Done means vibration-triggered wakeup suppression works without permanently preventing wrist wakeup and is covered by appropriate tests.
