Add Activity type: Squash

Hello,

I have been using a Garmin FR405 for a long time for my trainings, and now I am using the VivoFit 2 for everyday use, and it would be useful to be able to select, in the activity types, "squash", and have a calory calculation according to that type of sport. I have used other activity tracker platforms, and squash is included in many of them.

Thank you.

Squash is an amazing sport so it would be really nice to have it in the list.

Would it be possible to add a new activity type for Squash please. At the moment I need to add it as unallocated or Treadmill running, closest I could find?

Probably the Tennis one would be pretty similar (maybe an idea to add Padel/Paddle and badminton at same time)?

Many thanks

Phil

You have my vote. Please add badminton to sport activity.

Bonjour, Je souhaiterai également qu'il y ai une activité style badminton afin de calculer le nombre de pas, les calories, le nombre de coups aussi par exemple.
En tout cas, avoir une activité de base comme le badminton, le squash et le tennis.
Merci par avance.

Another bit for adding squash. Hell, if flying a drone can be an activity type, which basically can be done after taking several hits for a bong, squash should be in here given the fitness level required. Please add.

+1 for an activity type of squash!! Just got my Vivoactive 3 Music and can't believe it's not there! Not convinced that 'cardio' or the 3rd party app i found is recording calories correctly compared with my old Microsoft Band or friends who have HRBs and Fitbit Charge 2 devices, etc.

On most Garmin watches, you can add whatever sport you wish. Check out your user manual - an example for the Forerunner 735XT is here: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/forerunner735/EN-US/GUID-6D055816-2C05-49F5-8BE7-B4E0A7C09570.html

On watches supporting the ConnectIQ technology you can find a plugin in the ConnectIQ store for almost any sport you can imagine. And if you can't, you can write one yourself, or hire someone to do it.

Also have a look at this similar thread about badminton: https://forums.garmin.com/apps-software/mobile-apps-web/f/garmin-connect-mobile-andriod/204741/badminton
