Is there way to Exclude an activity from intensity minutes?

Hi,

i am using the watch to track also the time in the sauna. But i don’t want to affect the intensity minutes, or at least to avoid it from being counted double (vigorous)

 do you guys know a trick to do this? I was trying to set custom very high hr zones for the custom sauna activity but can’t do that apparently

    We used to be able to disable activity tracking in the watch settings, but that feature has been removed from 955 and other devices :/.

    I don’t think intensity minutes is based on user-defined hr zones anyway, I think it’s based on max hr.

    You could try disabling the wrist HR when you’re in the sauna (and obviously not using an external monitor, like a chest strap or arm band). Or if you care about your HR, you could use an external monitor, not pair it with via the built-in sensors menu (or disable the connection if it is paired), but use it with a 3rd party app (which can display the external HR during the activity and also record it to the activity FIT file): https://apps.garmin.com/apps/7c83d402-4b68-4f0a-b167-7139788a19b3

    Yeah I realize that’s not really a good solution. It would be nice if Garmin would bring back the Activity Tracking setting, but I don’t think that will happen.
