When adding indoor rowing activity it only asks for time and distance. The display however has strokes but no data. How do I add strokes
I would like to know this too. If I set the activity as indoor rowing it shows me the stroke count as if it's the most important metric, but I can't edit it, whereas I can enter a distance.
Well, I do not have Indoor Rowing on my watch (Instinct), so I just use the stadard Rowing activity type, and it does record, and does show me the stroke data - a graph with stroke rate, another one with distance per stroke (outdoors), and also the total stats: Total Strokes, Avg Stroke Rate, Max Stroke Rate, and the Avg Distance per Stroke. It is true that I cannot edit the stroke data, but there is also no need for doing it - it is recorded automatically by the watch.
Thanks for the quick response! I don't have Rowing as an available activity to add to my watch (Forerunner 45). I can select Other when recording and then edit the recorded activity to set it to 'Indoor Rowing' but I guess that's just a retrospective label, and a template for what to display. I get that the watch won't record Strokes (it thinks I've done steps instead according to my timeline) so I just want to be able to edit the activity to enter this data, which is displayed prominently in the app against the activity.

You have couple of options:
Thanks again Trux for the fast, and very expansive, response! I already tried no. 8 actually, fully aware that I will never hear back and the feature will never be implemented! In a way I can see why, because my 'strokes' have already been counted as steps by the watch, whereas if the activity was being recorded as rowing in the first place, they'd have been recorded as strokes. So they'll kind of get double counted if I add them as stroke data.
I'll have a look through your other suggestions.
