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

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos lots of sport modes already, very happy so far. If I could improve something this would be to have easily accessible help info (maybe in-watch?) about how sport modes are designed to be used. Don’t get me wrong, some sports are straightforward, but some others would benefit from it, IMHO. For instance:

• What’s the difference between “Mountain biking - Trail” and “Mountain biking - downhill”?
• How to use “Indoor climbing”? And “orienteering”?
• What’s the difference between “Canoeing” and “Kayaking”?
• And between “Mermaiding” and “Snorkeling”?

Message here is, sports modes have very valuable, thoughtful features and metrics inherent to them, so imagine that we could read a quick, contextual description in the watch itself when selecting the mode… wouldn’t that be great? Alternatively, the Suunto App could come with “embedded” insights on how to use the different sport modes available in the watch.

Ok now you can tell me RTFM!

Cheers!

it seems not to be possible to just stay on topic.

Topic is:
“what sport modes is missing”

How about everyone opens their own thread if this question made them think about something else…?

+1 for Rucking and Thru Hiking/Fast Packing

[fv4500]

@Egika Apologies… looked relevant to me in the way the OP was proposing the discussion to go. Will post something in the lines of my suggestion separately.

+1 for E-Bike

[cosme.costa]

• Fast hiking/walking (when walk/hike fast and run in some places)
• e-bike
• e-MTB
• Core training/Multiple exercises (when you do exercises like abs/push-ups/exercises with rubbers/lunges/some strength… all in the same training) typical exercises for runners. Now I’m using using “circuit training”, but it is not really circuit training. Exercises that you do using a mat.

Thru-hiking and some changes in hiking and molmountaineering profile

• extra display with compass when gpx route is loaded

• extra display with breadcrumb when map is turned on — one quick click and you can change between map and breadcrumb (longer battery life)

• contour lines for 500m - 1 or 2km

• autopause for slower activities (currently only works ok with faster sports)

• different function for bottom button (lap isn’t needed), save location, quick map or compass view, or elevation profile — something like a pinned widget in watch mode

• for thru hiking - option only in SuuntoApp: merge daily stages (distance, ascent/descent, calories, steps etc.) and create an additional record for the whole route without affecting those daily activities that are used to calculate fitness, recovery, etc. just for sharing, to the trail summary, for exporting to apps like Relieve.

I agree with what @maszop said.

Track Running Like Garmin and COROS where you can choose the Lane and get very accurate gps Tracks and distances for Track Running.

Then Like some others said, Suunto + Features native for Sports Mode , Like Climb for trailrunning, manual Lap for Running etc.
Maybe more Pages for the Sport modes

Yep. I’d take this over any new sport mode, as it would add so much value and utility to the existing sport modes.

Those are my top ones as well

DC Rainmaker has reiterated the need for Suunto to integrate more of the plus features natively.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Good morning - I received a recommendation from one of the members here on the forum, so the guy I’m trying to help transferred a log from the app right at the end of the workout, we’ll wait patiently

I second that, for me it would be ‘calisthenics’ or something similar. I use ‘circuit training’ and then in SA I change sport to ‘outdoor gym’. SA then always congratulates me with ‘first circuit training this year’ My routine is dips, chin ups, pull ups, push ups, knee raises, jump squats.

me too!

[Luis Andés Olmedo]

@Likarnik same here. I use “strength” but a “Calisthenics” mode would be great.

I wish that Snorkeling mode would get greater depth, since 10m is not enough (to small depth)… like to where it is waterproof (100m)

Indoor StepMill (Stairmaster), ideally with a way to track ascend/climb/steps automatically.
