Kayaking supported?

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi,

I'm an avid kayaker and I'm looking for an activity tracker that supports kayaking activity as well.
In the Garmin App store I found some apps regarding rowing that might support kayaking as well: https://apps.garmin.com/nl-NL/search?q=rowing

The Forerunner 235 does seem to meet my requirements ('all purpose tracker' , waterproof, HR, supports kayak activity tracking, sleeptracking, steps etc), but perhaps you can advice me?

Do you think the Forerunner meets my needs?
Or is an other device more suitable?

Thanks,
Rolf

While the 235 has the 'Other' profile the watch isn't really designed/programmed for activities other than running and cycling.

Your best bet is to either go down in price to the more lifestyle line and get the VivoactiveHR or up in price to the 735XT which have a stand up paddle board profile backed into them and also support creating custom profiles.
