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

I hope you won’t mind if I joke a bit: being father of 4 kids I feel the need for sports like these…

Native Duathlon and Swim-Run modes for the Race. Either as configurable multisport modes, or as pre-defined modes. Both should be a no-brainer, as the Race has more than enough memory for configurable multisport modes and already has triathlon as a pre-defined multisport mode.
This is basically my only gripe left with the Race, as I’ve written in other threads here multiple times. Fiddling around, trying to change to the correct next mode while trying to get off the bike in a Duathlon, for example, is no option. Too dangerous for yourself and other participants. Furthermore, the current, manual way of operation loses the transitions.
Still not there in the November update…

@kurtpenter reminds me of the lesser known Apple Watch workouts

Stair climbing -
Gravel Cycling and Indoor Cycling…
Gravel Cycling is really hot in the cycling community…
Currently my Indoor Cycling activities are uploaded from Rouvy (my indoor cycling app, can be compared with Zwift) as Spinning but that is not the same as Indoor Clycling on a smart trainer or smart bike…

Sauna… I create my own but would be good out the box
-
Curling. The winter and Olympic sport. The mode would need to be for detecting sweeping / brushing. Curlers either walk or slide on one foot while sweeping a delivered rock.
-
@Johan-Ulijn My ecosystem consists of Hammerhead, Rouvy in winter, and Suunto. I would also vote for indoor activity recognition.

@Johan-Ulijn I have gravel cycling sport mode, you don’t?

This would encourage users to use the watch well out of its specifications in terms of temperature…
Suunto Race S

Suunto has so many sports modes already…. so what can be missing.
Maybe watching television
to track hearth rate during good movies -

Both are on Race S. Maybe not available on Suunto Run?

@2b2bff just looked up the temperature ranges of the vertical. Your correct it well out. I’m may stop taking it in then. Never had a problem yet mind.
-
@James-Alexander does not mean you get problems, but if Suunto defines it as as sport it is hard to explain that you operate the device outside of its specifications. Or other way around, if you get problems, then everybody will get back to Suunto for replacement and so…
It’s like showing video recording with mobile phone in the sea in comercials but there is no warranty coverage whatsoever for water ingress… Not that anybody would do such a thing…

No, I didn’t find any. Is it out of the box Suunto or did you create a new sport mode yourself?
-
@Johan-Ulijn I have gravel and indoor cycling as well on my Race S. You should on your Vertical, too. What Firmware version do you have?

@brettacher You have A+ Swimrun

What is the best sport mode to track a Stairmaster session?

Yes, now it is there. I can see. I started a few months ago with indentifying my gravelrides with a label because it was not there. Could it be that is is pretty new? Or maybe I missed it…
… Doesn’t really matter. It is there now… I am happy…

@Johan-Ulijn there has been an update that introduced a couple more sports modes does not list them. So, they should have been older…
