Martial Arts

I am surprised to see obscure activities such as wingsuit flying listed, but not martial arts. Will you please add martial lists to the list of types of activity? Many thanks.

    Squash, Tennis, Football...

    Seriously, I'm very surprised that there aren't profiles for the pretty major sports listed. I can tag a wakeboarding activity, but not a game of squash :/

    From an hour and 20 mins of squash yesterday my vivosmart HR recorded my heart rate well, but my total calorie burn was off... Hopefully there can be a profile that could calculated this better for this sort of activity.

    I second the request.

    And I agree, hilarious that we do have wingsuit flying - honestly! :eek:

    I agree. I don't understand why Garmin persists in leaving this sport aside. I used to have a Suunto ambit3 that was able to deal with art martial.

    pierreditmagnat, whether your personal passion is martial arts (and I practised a number of them over a decade, mainly in my twenties, and ‘taught’ for a while after being dragged in by my sifu to run some classes for him) or extreme ironing, there is no reason to expect or demand ‘respect’ or acknowledgement of it as having an equivalent place as cycling (which I don't do), swimming (which I don't do), soccer, wingsuit flying or yoga in some company's or Internet standard-setting authority's frameworks or specifications.

    I would like to see martial arts (specifically BJJ) added into the mix of activities on the Fenix. Tracking my BJJ sessions as "Other" is far from ideal.

    Agree!  Bad form to roll with your Garmin device so you have to manually add and you have no way of indicating how intense the session was.

    At some point in the future could you please add an option for activity categories for martial arts?

    Please can you add martial arts? I do ju jitsu and would like to record. There are more martial artists than wing suit flyers :)

    I agree  I'm tired of putting pilate unsted of martial art. Please add martial art
