Changing activity type during a workout

Hi - I can't work out how to change activity type during a workout. I.e from swim to run - like Multisport. My old 920xt used to do that. I read on another post for fenix you can set a hotkey as change activity but when i try this I can't see activity type as an option?

Any ideas?

real bummer i didn't realise it wasnt a standard function. i was going to get the 945 but figured this was as good & was solar charging which was a great feature.

When you view products by 'multisport' on the website Instinct is listed!! https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/cIntoSports-cMultisport-p1.html

somewhat missleading

Yes, it's misleading. In Garmin's terminology "multisport" means a device that has multiple profiles for various sports, but nowadays almost every garmin wearable has that and it is not clear to me what criterium garmin uses to qualify a watch as "multisport". On the other hand, the true multisport feature, the one that allows you to switch sports without interrupting the activity, is nowhere indicated in garmin's specs.

I just had a chat on the phone to garmin - in fairness they agree - the only way to find is search the device specs for the term "

"MULTI-SPORT"

They have kindly allowed me to return / replace the product - it's the forerunners & the fenix that seem to support it. - thx for your input

The multisport feature is available on all fenix watches (and derivatives thereof, like the tactix, enduro, D2), but not all forerunners. From the current lineup only the FR935, FR945, FR735XT and FR745 have it. Others, like for example the 245, 645 or 45, do not.
