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

I recently started back to Tai Chi after a number of years. It’d be great to see that on the activity list.

@Tieutieu Yes, and it would also be awesome if they could add the three primary disciplines (foil, épée, and sabre).

I am missing a ‘no noncence’ any-sport-mode.

My use case

I swim in a circular pool (this one) and I use my Suunto Race watch to track the exercise. Because the pool is round, there is no pauses, no turns, only continuous swimming. Since there is no gnss coverage, there is no way the watch could figure out the distance. Instead I press the lap button every time i have done one round, i my case per 100 meter.
I have tried many profiles, but they all record random weird distances, also when I have set the pool length to 100 meters.

What I want is:

Every time I press the lap button, the watch should record:
** the lap time
** the predifined lap distance - in my case 100 meter
after finishing the exercise, the app should:
** calculate average speed etc. pr. lap and total
** let me adjust lap distances; e.g. if I have forgot to press once, so one of the laps is twice the distance
** recalculate the average speed etc. if distances have been edited
Neither watch nor app should try to guess speed during the exercise - only per lap.

Other use cases

I am a teacher/trainer/granfather and want to measure laps when my pupil/student/grandson swim/run/drives rounds in/on the pool/running track/race track
I am driving a go-cart on an indoor race court

Thanks in advance

Totally agree, a freediving activity (DYN + STA) would be amazing !

this sport mode can be similar to cycling (which I use now), just rename it

@Kraisun-Tunta loool. and the metrics would be

“TPM” thrusts Per Minutes ,
Number of positions
average time per position
average temperature

“honey, let’s do some HIIT in the bedroom today”

My wife always tells me she needs a “strength/mobility” mode. Her trainer prepares strength and mobility sessions for running that don’t quite fit into “stretching,” “weight training,” “yoga/pilates,” “calisthenics,” or similar categories.

@Elipsus Superb!!! Heart rate and temperature are very important.
