        @Alejandro Just from my own experience I will write that you can easily create them yourself by choosing circuit training as a base, and this one is in the list of sports modes. HIIT and Tabata can be very different, and I guess that Suunto leaves the flexibility to customize them.

          @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yes, but it requires a Plus slot, and, like the Di2 gears is only good for Shimano users (I think ~20% of the market).

          We have five bikes in my house, and none of them have Shimano… it’s progress, but feels more like a marketing exercise, like the Stryd integration, but could probably be moved from ‘specific sport mode’ to ‘ANT+/Bluetooth eBike sensor that can be integrated into the bike activity, or a custom bike activity’.

                I’d like to see a sport mode for 24hr loop races (backyard ultras, Endure24, Equinox24 etc.) where there are significant stopping periods and repeated loops of the same course. I can see some cool options for auto start/stop of a loop based on gps and pace (after you’ve done the first loop) as well as a display showing how the current loop is going compared to previous loops. Also, auto-switching to low power gps once a rest period was detected in order to save battery and a rest timer. Possibly even the ability to stop and then resume a workout - when you select the mode it could offer to extend a previously logged workout completed within the last 12 hours, for instance.

                  I miss efficient way to create my custom sport mode generally. I think if Suunto work on this feature a bit it would solve lots of requests above.

                  Or at least ability tag TAG your activity automatically based on custom sport mode you are executing: See here

                      How about gardening…? I know it’s not a sport, but it’s proper physical exercise. Man, sometimes it’s can be taxing.

                        Guys I created this feature request. I think it can help lots of you waiting for new sport mode.

                          @jsuarez my partner would agree with you, makes me think of the lawn mowing activities people upload to Strava.

                            @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Not to knock ANY of some of the suggestions here, as looks like it’s a complete brainstorming exercise, would it be possible for someone to define what some here consider a ‘sport’ activity is?

                            Dictionary.com defines sport as “an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess”.

                            Or:

                            “…a contest or game in which people do certain physical activities according to a specific set of rules and compete against each other.”

                            Question: What sport mode is missing from our watches in your opinion?

                            Past Suuntos: X-Lander/Observer/T6/X9/X10/X6HR/CORES/Ambits/Spartan/9P/9PP Ti/Vertical Ti

                            Current: Suunto Race Ti

                            Past other GPS watches: Polar Vantage V; Garmin 6X Pro Solar; Coros Vertix 2

                              Cross Country Skiing is a must for a finish company. I know the sport mode exists, but it should really have some unique metrics.
                              Garmin has something special for XC Skiing

                                @VoiGAS power: they show power in XC skiing, have for a while. They were very proud of it. No idea if it’s useful, though: my feet are too wide for any XC ski boots I’ve seen.

                                  @Ze-Stuart Really? How? With wrist power or Stryd? Do you have more information on it or a source?

                                    @VoiGAS they calculate XC power using the accelerometers in their chest straps, I believe.

                                      @Ze-Stuart I found it completely useless when I tried it. There wasn’t even a possibility to set the power zones at this time (FR 945, this might have changed in the meantime). Maybe it makes sense if you are just double poling. But with diagonal strides and skating… I don’t know. HR/RPE works better in my opinion.

                                      On topic: Maybe different activity profiles for classic and skating would be beneficial (also for roller skiing)? But differentiation with tags already works pretty well.

                                        @Ze-Stuart Ahhh, I thought Suunto did it. Yes, I know Garmin is doing something special in the XC Ski mode, but I really think this should be Suunto terrain. Like diving, where Suunto was clearly ahead. At least they did catch up with the ocean for scuba.
                                        Next: Nordic Sports. What about a Biathlon Multisport Mode?
