No Stroke Per Minute (SPM) while Kayaking. (this is available for SUP but missing in Kayaking

yes, this is ridiculous.

But in kayaking you get your statistics in speed while in Sup I got the useless pace in the app, there was even a bug earlier last year preventing to switch to speed on the web interface. 

Not a SUPer, but does System> Format> Pace/Speed Preference> SUP> Show speed not fix it?

Kayak activity seems designed for whitewater kayaking. I'm a sea kayaker and use rowing instead. The stroke per minute works perfectly.

That's set to speed Garmin Connect Android (also the watch) does not care. 

They sell the Kayaking app as a premium app, reserved only for the top models. 

So I bought a FR 745 to have the Kayak app, just to find out it is useless and I still have to use SUP app as I did on my Vivoactive 3. 

Why no strokes in Kayak? 

Also they could include the option to create custom activities with the option to select the activity type. Then we could use "paddling" which is available on connect but not in the watch. This one also keep strokes count.

kayak app is for whitewater, where you can't keep up with your paddling rhythm. Use rowing  app and measure your stroke perfectly.

Garmin recently changed the name in the saved activity. Its not showing like kayak/whitewater anymore. Now it just shows as kayak in the saved activity. 

Hopefully they are going to correct it soon. Better late then never. 

Rowing app is missing the option to show speed. Only has pace.

Also it counts a double kayak stroke as a single rowing stroke (same with SUP). 

To make the Kayak app nice and usefull, they only have to enable the stroke count, like Row and Sup, and multiply it by 2.

Also SUP only has pace in the app, annoying.

In my FR745 and in the Vivoactive3 I had before, SUP can show speed (km/h) and pace (min/km). 

Rowing only shows pace (also cant understant why not just alow speed option). 

They should also include auto pause option, just like in the "other" activity app.
