    In the Android mobile app, to be able to customize which activities I have listed in my activity tab in order to view weekly and monthly stats

  • Can you have a think about supporting sleep tracking for shift workers? Monitoring quantity and quality of sleep is probably even more vital for us but when I sleep during the day it doesn't seem to register it...

  • I also do open water swimming and whilst it's accurate in a pool, mysmy vivoactive 3 in open water is all over the place. I normally don't even bother using my watch, put my phone on Strava in my chill swim float and record it that way. 

    Would be cool if I could record the GPS trace from my phone and the SWOLF from my watch though and tie them together? Better still would be a waterproof gps tag that syncs with my watch I can clip to my chill swim or the back of my goggles to give me a good trace?

    Just a thought...?

    You swim with your phone above the surface? GPS does not work under water, so if you do not swim freestyle, having the hand with the watch above the surface regularly, it won't work. If you do, and still have problems, enable the option GPS+Glonass, or GPS+Galileo. And also wait 3-5 minutes after acquiring the GPS lock, before starting to swim (so called GPS soak time). If nothing helps, put the watch under your swimcap (if you wear one).

  • Yeah the chill swim bag is a float you tow behind you. I put it in that and it works fine. Will try that with the watch - I have out that on top of the bag but you lose SWOLF. Just thinking if you had a tag that was on your goggles strap or on the float that would give you good GOS with the SWOLF from the watch...

    Can you add martial arts to the activities. Maybe one for tai chi and another for other martial arts? 

    • It would be nice to see possibility to add filter in Activities section (Cycling) to separate indoor cycling
  • I need a crossfit profile training. I think that a lot of people could use it.

    Just use Cardio. You do not need anything else than that

  • How about. A pie chart that shows what portion of weight loss/gain is due to %fat, skeletal muscle mass, % water, bone mass. I realized there are ready graphs that show these individually but it would be great if there was a 1 day, 7f, 4 week, year, pie chart that showed the composition of change.
