      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?

                            @Ars-Vitae there is actually a motorsport activity already

                            Yeah, you’re right, my bad, I wasn’t precise. But still missing some water motorsports.

                              Snorkeling for all baro watch.

                              i just realized i have to dig out from somewhere my super old suunto core from 2012, which measured depth because my suunto baro from 2018 does not provide this metric.

                                  @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Wait, what? Suunto 9 with baro can measure depth? How? As far as I know only Peak Pro and later can record depth

                                    Not an answer to your exact question, but a related topic.

                                    I really dislike having a bunch of predefined specialized sport modes like Trail run basic, Trail run vertical, etc. And then a custom one doesn’t work the same way.

                                    It would be much preferred to be able to just have one Trail Run that I can customize without having to create a new custom one. And then, there should be an option to restore if I want to go back to the default one. Also there should be an option to clone. That is more like how Ambit used to work and that is how other brands do it.

                                          +1 for the option to clone (and adapt) a default sports mode. Maybe more object-oriented sport modes where „My MTB mode“ is a child of the standard MTB mode? 🤔

                                            @VoiGAS correct. But those are supported for updates and so on. So basically all “nextgen” have this feature
