Which activity for tennis?

Former Member over 7 years ago

Hello everybody!

I was wondering how do you handle playing tennis with your Fenix 5X. I've come to use Indoor Track when I play tennis - mostly indoor indeed. In that mode the watch measures my HR and even the distance run, without GPS or a running pod.

Do you have any tips and experiences as to playing tennis in combination with the 5X?

Cheers

Not tried it myself but there appears to be an app that extends to other sports = https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/1d68ae88-0874-4f7b-80e3-b1ee87dc571e

Thanks for your suggestion. As far as I've understood that app only lets you record easier the match scores but I doubt that any of the sensors of the 5X is particularly used. Of course correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't know, I'm kinda looking for suggestions how to get most of the 5X while playing tennis.

Hi, I've got a Fenix 5x too. I got it mainly for rowing and it's great, it's not working very well on open water swimming, looses gps very often, and now I'm wondering if there is any Tennis app to link to it.

Thanks

create new activity and copy some activity like run/multisport which will track heart rate, hence calories and also steps and that is what you can get out of the watch. It will not be able to track acceleration and other things, I guess.
