      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.

      Suunto Vertical Titanium Solar
      OnePlus Nord 4

        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.

            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.

              t6, Ambit, Traverse, Spartan Sport WHR, Suunto 7 (2 month! then sold it!, loved the watch but UI was pointless),Suunto 9, Garmin Fenix 6pro, Suunto 9 Peak Ti (it‘s a beauty), Garmin Epix Gen2, Suunto Race Ti

              Core Brushed Steel (Most beautiful watch ever)

                        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?

                              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.

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

                                    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.

                                      –> 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 😞

                                          Dann leg dir nur 2 oder 3 Datenfelder aufs Display. Dann sind die groß genug.

                                            Usually, during intensive fast swimming you have about 1 sec to check distance/swolf. I do it while flipping at the end of lap. All this under water with somewhat foggy goggles.
                                            Turning on the backlight improves the readability but this settings option is disabled by default and I need to turn it on manually before the training. Sometimes I forget to set the backlight on and this ruins the training because I need to stop.
                                            Remembering this option selection for the future training might make life easier.
