Assigning default gear for individual activities

Thanks Kevin, the problem with these type of 'feature request' forms is that customers feel like their feedback goes into oblivion and the customers never feel heard. A forum / feature request thread where customers can provide feedback and upvote a certain feature request is far more inclusive and helpful for both parties.

Dear Garmin,

I would like to track different bikes automatically. For that I can already start different activities like "road cycling" or "eMTB", but currently it is not possible to automatically add a different bike to the specific activity. This would be a perfect feature for the user of multiple bikes...

thanks, Jahn

Completely agree, I have a road bike for road cycling and a gravel bike for gravel cycling - it would be nice to have a default for each type of cycling activities (and I'm sure runners would like a similar setup).

I, and almost all runners, use different shoes for tempo, long distance and recovery runs and I would like my watch to ask me which pair of shoes I used when I save the activity. This should also be an option for other activities because I have a few bikes for cycling, etc. the app assumes that I only use one pair of shoes which is silly. 

Thanks in advance for your help,

I just submitted this idea again, as I did several years ago.  I hope there is a response this time.  thanks.

I am also running into this problem and it sounds like a pretty common use case indeed. Did you ever get a status update on your feature request or is there a way (also for me) to view the current state? Thx

Having more than one bike or one pair of shoes for different activities is standard.

On the face of it, sounds like a reasonable request. Maybe it's more realistic for cyclists. However, I personally don't use the same pair of shoes every time I run, rotating multiple pairs, even for the same activity type. So, allowing Garmin to decide which shoes I wore based on the activity would not work for me. Therefore, I have no set default. Then I go in and add whatever shoe it was.

You cannot view the current state of the request. However, you can create your own request here - Share Ideas | Garmin

 Do somebody know if Garmin will finally add this simple feature, function, possibility - whatever we call it?

There is only cycling option, oh my goodness, this is so stupid!!!

Why would I add Bike to other than cycling, why it's not showing every possible activitt where bike is involved?

Stupid so much, even words can't explain how much.
