That's what the article says: You should exercise physically when you're into esports (not to be confused with "playing videogames" as that's for fun) to help your body cope with the stress / strain…

Yes I know, but I would like to be able to use the STR3AMUP! software with my Fenix 6. And that's currently only possible with the Instinct Esports watch. It shouldn't be that difficult to bring that functionality…

You currently can't show stress in a custom profile, nor get the data to show on stream

OK. I guess it would be useful for those who are into gaming.

Is Garmin going to make Fenix 6 watches compatible with Str3amup?

I think, they only have to add the Esports Activity on allr bt enabled watches to transmit the stress, bb, and pulse when you are gaming.

Might be useful for zwift or other uses...

Also is Garmin going to make a port of Str3amup! utility for android or ios mobile devices?

Since i have a Tactix Delta and wish to use this functionality too, it would be good if Garmin enables such Apps at their highest priced models too....

I would very much like to have support for my Fenix 6 Pro Saphire too!

I would love to be able to use my Fenix 6 for cycling, walking AND gaming ;-)

It seems only logical the high-end watches can do at least that what cheaper ones can do?

So please Garmin, support for esports and STR3AMUP for Fenix (6) would be greatly appreciated!

What would you like to measure as "ESPORT"?
Distance? Pace? Elevation gain? Power?

Seriously maybe heart rate and elapsed time with the capability to mark rounds. You can do this right now if you make a copy of a cardio/yoga activity profile and rename it as "ESPORT". Than create a datascreen that you would like to see during the activity and it's ready to use.

The point of eSport mode isn't for recording the videogame session as a Garmin activity - it's for transmitting your HR and Stress data to your PC, so it can be superimposed onto your livestreamed videogame session, so your viewers can see it.

If all of that sounds silly, that's because it is At least, to a non -videogamer like myself, it sounds silly.

That's not really the same thing. eBike and eMTB refers to electrically-powered bicycles, that you ride in real life, outdoors. eSports means playing videogames.
