Adding rowing as an activity on forerunner 45s

7957841 over 2 years ago

Why can’t I add rowing as an activity on my forerunner? I can change an activity to rowing in the app but can’t add rowing as an option on my watch when I start a workout.

Because the Forerunner 45 does not have rowing as an activity profile.

I use this list a lot when I help people with what watch to buy or to find out if an activity profile can be added to a watch. It is all activity types for the different Forerunner watches.

BTW, if you have a friend with a Garmin watch supporting Rowing, try copying the respective definition file from the folder //GARMIN/Sports/ on his watch to the same location on your watch. Usually it works, unless the definition file requires hardware component not available on the target device (which should not be the case with your FR45 and Rowing). I did it several times with other activities that I shared to others with a different watch model, and almost always it worked (with just a single exception).
