description A wearable device includes a capacitive sensor and capacitance sensing and calibration logic operative to determine that component drift for a capacitive sensor cannot be determined based on a capacitance sensed by the capacitive sensor. The capacitance sensing and calibration logic deactivates a drift calibration operation for the capacitive sensor while the capacitive sensor senses the capacitance. The capacitance sensing and calibration logic is further operative to determine that the capacitance sensed by the capacitive sensor is within a detection threshold that indicates that a conductive surface is within proximity of the capacitive sensor. The capacitance sensing and calibration logic can also determine that a wearable device, that includes the capacitive sensor, is in motion based on sensed intermittent changes in the capacitance. Various other methods of operation are disclosed.
