cardio activity used to show distance on VSHR+ but not on VA3M?

[purpletrees]

Hello,

i do a lot of HIIT ( 50% treadmill 50% floor exercises) classes and I used to use the distance tracked in Cardio on my old VSHR+ to weigh how “treadmill-heavy” a class was. But since I got the new watch VA3M my distance is always 0km.

I know I ran 2 ish km on a treadmill in my class today. But there’s no time to stop/start activities on your watch and the treadmill resets when you swap over. I just need an activity I can start at the beginning and stop 50 min later and I’d like to see distance and moving time again as well as heart rate, “calories “ & time.

I know it’s inaccurate and for the sake of these classes I don’t actually care what the distance is, I just used to find it an interesting inter-class comparison.

What should i be using? Is it a bug? Is there a better activity?
Thank you!

new output won’t upload but it’s just heart rate and time. Not even moving time. And calories.

Can you use the Treadmill activity? You could even trigger laps at the beginning and end of the treadmill part, so you would be able to see when you were running, and when you were doing floor exercises.

Calories are based on HR, and you'll get distance, time and HR, so I think that should cover everything.

Long time no reply, but thank you. I set up something called Train as a duplicate of the treadmill as I wanted to keep autolap on the treadmill one.

Still have to leave the activity type as running as changing it post fact removes the info but I just change the name.
