Changing title from "other" to something else

Former Member over 8 years ago

First if all, hello. I was looking to buy fr 230 but i wouldnt use it so much for running as for other sports, like tennis, football, badminton, gym etc (and running sometimes ofcourse :) ) ...

So my question is could I change the name of "other" sport profile after i sync it with web and phone on garmin Connect?

Thanks and cheers!

You cannot change the names of any of the activity profiles that exist only on the watch itself – that is, Garmin Connect has no record and no knowledge of them – and you cannot add any custom profiles on the FR230/235. You can change the name (arbitrarily, as freeform text) and type (from a preset list) of each individual activity that was recorded by the watch using the Other profile, after syncing/uploading the activity data through to Garmin Connect.

thank you, that was what i was wondering. I know that on watch I'll always have to choose other sport profile but when i sync it, its important to me that i can change names/titles so that activities have their proper names (like gym, tennis, etc...) and not that everything is showns as "other"...then i wouldnt know what i did

Thanks for the reply.
I know i cant change it on the watch, but if i can change activity name on web or phone app, its fine. I dont want that most of my activities say "other".. I wouldnt know what is what..

You can also look in the Connect IQ app store, as you may find apps for what you want to do, and when activities are uploaded to Garmin Connect, the sport is already correct.
