Request: match the activity type list on Garmin connect with the apps list !

Hi folks,

Why does the list of possible activities on garmin Connect doesn't match the apps you can choose on a garmin watch?
For example I do a lot of Backcountry skiing in winter and I need to manually change the activity type on garmin connect. Even if I create an app for backcountry skiing on the watch I need to take another app like XC skiing as a base and the recorded activity is still considered as XC skiing and not backcountry skiing.

This is just one example, the list on garmin connect is quite exhaustive and this is a nice feature but the same list of activity apps should be available on the watch !
I guess this is not much work is it?

I have exactly the same request. Need to edit “activity type” for each activity (at least the custom ones) on the watch. Or make the full list available on Connect as activity app in the watch. It’s annoying to edit each activity after sync on Connect to asign the right type.
