Auto detect of activities - not walking / running

Hi,

Is there a way to get the vivoactive 4s to auto detect activity which isn't walking or running?  I can't seem to find a way to activate other activities.  It's pretty frustrating that it needs to be manually started for gym classes and netball, for example.  I will complete a 45mins HIIT class or play 40 mins of netball and nothing is recorded if I don't start the exercise. On my fitbit it used to detect all these activities automatically.

Thanks

  • Nah, I guess it's happening only on devices of other brands, you can even teach some to recognize your activities and repetitions.

    I'd love to see my watch to detect something else then walking as well. and I guess that the best we can do is to submit the request to https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/

    I'll got and submit the request myself, thanks for reminding me about it!
    Hopefully if many of us do this, they would add it one day, at least on the new devices to motivate us buy them Slight smile
