How can Badminton be added as a type of sport?

Create it from ‘Other’ or copy and rename a cardio activity.

Check the CIQ app store, as I'm pretty sure the are apps for both Badminton and Tennis.

With a CIQ app, the activity will probably show correctly in GC (the sport itself)

The only usefull way.... Try "sports+". The watch does not record the data in a good manner with the standard apps. Tried it quite often and HR data is not good (fixable with a hr monitor strap) and the distance is recorded totally wrong. i know i know the distance is more or less just a nice to have in this situation and not at all the correct data, BUT the watch detects 90% of playing badminton as no movement at all! last time i tried i moved 20 meters while  playing for  2 hours single matches. The software limits the watch EXTREME for badminton, it´s algorithms just delete a lot of data (also while recording "every second"). i switched to my old vivosmart hr+ for recording badminton.... also the distance seems (more or less) ok (4-5 kilometers after 2 hour playing)

Use "Contact Developer" for the app and report what you see.

With the app everything is recorded fine, because of that i meant it is a software fault. The hardware is more than capable, but if i don´t use the app but "other" or "indoor running" or whatever i have the symptoms i have written

Hi,

thx so far for your help. but I´m still confused.

Even if I create on my watch a sports Profile named Badminton in the ConnectApp I still see only "Others" in the calander

When I export it to other platforms it also only says "others"

Is there a better way?

I´ll try the sports+ app -> lets see if this works

Again, use a Connect IQ app that actually records the activity with the correct sport.

when you create something new on the watch, you are just giving an alternate name to the sport you started with, and not adding a new sport.
