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

[elis001]

You should be able to choose between classic and skate for both xc skiing and roller skiing. They should be different sport modes.

Rucking/running with backpack + stroller running!

Not really missing a sport mode, but more missing the option to select one in a multisport event.
When I do a transition to another sport mode, I am only able to choose from the sport modes I previously used.

Hello,

there is one important sports mode missing:
- virtual cycling (like zwift)

I know, many of you are thinking, to accomplish this, there must be an integration to zwift.
But, there are already apps present to sync zwift to Suunto APP, like RunGap (iOS) or quantified self (Web).
I‘m syncing thousands of Zwift km‘s to suunto and they are appearing as standard cycling activity.
And this distorts my overall statistics for cycling (road) massively.

So what’s the problem? Zwift (and other virtual cycling apps) activities will get synced as cycling/virtual. As this mode is not existing, the activity will added as cycling.

Please add virtual cycling (cycling/virtual) as sports mode!

And please zwifters (and other e-sports cyclists) please upvote this!
There also two threads covering this under feature suggestions.

Thank you!

@morm1 i use a lot also Zwift.
Currently I upload my zwift files through Runalyze.
And in Suunto App, I just change the sport mode to Indoor cycling, so that my stats are well splitted between Zwift rides and outdoor rides.

@v-sacre

Yeah, I know.
In the moment I edit the sports mode for every Zwift move - this sucks.

But realy, this is like you would own a house without a front door and you would have to use a ladder to enter it through a window. ^^

We are living in the age of cloud based services and automation. The 90es when we used manual workarounds and interfaces everywhere, are gone.

cheers

A profile or maybe better a Suunto+ App for HYROX training/races would be fantastic. During the Race it would be great to see the split times and what station is next.

[Ars Vitae]

Aquabike
Bikepacking (or turism cycling - not the same as gravel cycling)

[Egika]

Do we have Dragon Boat already in the list?

[Martin Vrska]

I think the scooter is still missing . I mean this:

I couldn’t find Jousting

[pilleus]

A new year is about to begin, which is a good time to change the recording of sports that have been missing so far. Some of the sports mentioned in this topic (I personally miss the scooter in particular) may not affect the vast majority.

Wouldn’t it be very easy for the user to freely rename the existing options “Other1” to “Other6” or “No defined sport” in the app and also create these renamed sports as separate custom sport modes in the app and have them available on the watch?

Sport mode for breathing exercises

I’ll add another vote for rucking / weighted hiking or running

@Mff73 said in What sport mode is missing from our watches in your opinion?:

not a new sport, but triathlon as a customizable mode

and what about customizable multisports :
duathlons like swim/run or bike/run or …
triathlons like “any 3 sports combinations”
Multisport is already a workaround but without quick and efficient transitions

and what about a new way of using “other1” “other2” ? Like own user “others” naming (like tags). user would have the capacity to “name” its own new activiity type, displayed in SA with this new naming, but still officially an “other” activity (in term of fit/suunto types) ?

I fully agree! A customisable triathlon mode and a swimrun mode, not just duathlon but multiple transitions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimrun), would be great. Add in an ultrarun mode to track rest time and it is perfect.

Hi! I know we’ve had this conversation multiple times in the past, but let’s do it again.

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

Duathlon (Run T1 Bike T2 Run)

[Tieutieu]

On my way for a fencing session after many years : unless I’m wrong, FENCING is missing

[kaibrownie]

As winter is starting I definitely miss
sledging

I also know about some friends who keep missing this… It’s like ski Alpin for the metrics, but it’s annoying to mix those sports up and be not able to differentiate.

Just because you asked…
–> Caving

As someone who went on his first-ever wild caving excursion this past weekend, I second a Caving sports mode! Tracking the activity using “unspecified sport” just felt a little unsatisfying

Pool Swimming mode requires backlight to be on by default. Or at least to be able to remember last settings applied to the mode.
Having relatively small display, makes Suunto less suitable for water trainings. Low light under the water and small display ruin everything
