@isazi Really about the tags. Insane as it was promised at first and as you can’t change the names of certain sports how you can differentiate eg. indoor sports without tags?

I don’t know if it was promised. There is a feature request in this forum, this is as much as I know.

There was an earlier request for Tags. If you scroll near the beginning you can see how many tags I used and had…very sad this feature is gone.

And what is tag? Just a word, linked to one workout and stored in user data to be reused, with UI option to choose it.

The super cool feature in MC was you could select the tag and get all the exercises associated with that tag, for example, a pair of shoes, pair of skis, a place that I visit occasionally, or distance. It was a fantastic search feature if used when you started recording exercises, I had a lot of tags implemented. I used them to keep track of gear, I could tell how much I used a watch, etc. So the answer is yes.

Yes, sorry my comment was not clear enough tag feature should not be that difficult to implement : some more fields in database and some UI to let user choose tags and filters.

@Mff73 I would love to have the app backup sports mode in case of a reset, even if a reset is not a frequent thing.

@isazi Yes, yes, freakin’ yes. Don’t have an S9B but for any device that might go seriously wrong in the field and can rely so heavily on those kinds of modes, please have maximum, nearest restoration available. Possible to restore slowly, manually, I guess but a bit of a bore, no?

To minimize db changes I guess that can be added using some sort of hashtag to be inserted in the description

That is what I am doing now. It is horribly inefficient, it makes the description a mess and the tags do not autocomplete so it is a real hassle. I have reverted to adding tags to TrainingPeaks, which I should have been doing all along but wasn’t.

I see myself spending an entire friday night to setup my S9B to needs again…
backup of settings can’t be that difficult… even nova launcher on android has it

@TELE-HO it should also be a user decision if to use or not the backup. If you reset your watch because something is messing with its behavior, you may not want to reuse your previous configuration.

@TELE-HO I hear you, spending my New Years day doing this because of an error during the Firmware 2.13.18 update
