      @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

                                  Running drills destroy my VO2max and other statistics. It would be nice, if we can have a sport mode for this. Or how are other runners track these kind of activities?

                                    @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos when suunto 9 baro stopped being supported? How long is support period? Do you have it somewhere listed? Can you point me to a page with this info? For example when suunto peak will stop getting updates?

                                      @wargrider S9B was supported for 4/5 years since release. Last update must have been in Spring 2023 if I am not wrong.

                                          @wargrider Same thing with 9 Peak like Suunto 9 - not supported anymore since last year. Starting from 9PP a new generation OS is used. Unfortunatly this applies also to Suunto Plus Apps, the newer one are not compatible anymore

                                            –> Caving 😁

                                            Today I went cave climbing and noticed that this kind of sport doesn’t exist on my watch.

                                            GPS isn’t working below earth, but HR, steps, compass and altitude would be useful.
