What sport mode is missing from our watches in your opinion?
-
@sky-runner my ski ergo can be up to a hour. There so many other sports modes where you can wonder what is the point with it. So why not add ski ergo?

@Stefan-Kersting I suspect that when Suunto adds a new sport, they have to consider compatibility with the FIT standard because activities are exported to third party platforms. FIT SDK is owned by Garmin, but it is de facto standard for fitness data file format followed by every company. If Suunto adds a new sport that is not supported by FIT SDK, there is a risk of future incompatibility. I’ve just checked and I didn’t see SkiErg there. In other words, I suspect Suunto has to follow Garmin’s lead because Suunto is a much smaller company.

To expand on FIT SDK supported sport profiles, here is what I see in a recent version of SDK. These are sports that could theoretically be supported by Suunto of they care about third party compatibility, which they should.

There are a few sub-sports that can be combined with the above sports. For example “running” can be combined with “treadmill”, “trail”, etc. As another example, “fitness_equipment” could be combined with “stair_climbing” - that is something that was mentioned earlier in this thread. Here is the list:
- generic
- treadmill
- street
- trail
- track
- spin
- indoor_cycling
- road
- mountain

I see indoor_skiing in the list. But perhaps that isn’t the same as SkiErg.
-
@sky-runner and to expand on this there are even sub types. So, an activity tracked as commute could be registered as commute sub type.
-
I’m missing native integration with my Concept2/PM5 rower so I can use the rowing activity profile and get precise metrics.
