HELP - what to use for Racket Sport - e.g. Tennis or Badminton on Venu SQ

I would probably just copy cardio for it, you can customize the data screens to show the important information to you such as steps, heart rate, HR zone, calories, timer, etc.

thanks will try this

Check the CIQ App store.  There are activities for this.

Hi CindiL, I tried cardio and it captured heart rate well, estimated my elevation and displayed my heart zone.

It did not capture steps details. 

I checked the normal step tracking and think it's inaccurate. 

Maybe I try indoor walk next time. 

Hi Jim, want to try the out of box options first and understand if anyone has used any successfully. Wonder 

I downloaded an app and it had many sports options, and I had challenge starting the exercise. 

Plus I read that the ciq apps used does not get reflected in weekly reports? 

Fyi I tried walking (no GPS) for 40 mins - did quite a lot of running during that time. It reported distance as 0.2km only.

Wonder if venu sq calculates steps accurately or also depends on the pace info... As tennis pace info may be bad due to the stop start sprint and side movements. 

I do find that it is much more accurate using GPS so mine is always on when I am on a walk or hike.   Did you go through the steps in the app under Activity Tracking to set your Custom Stride Length?  It uses that to calculate your distance.

hi Jim, any to recommend?

Hi CindiL

setting custom stride length does not work. 

Is there any activity that tracks STEPS - like dance? ; instead of PACE and SPEED?

I think only running, walking, treadmill and indoor track capture steps under the “other” for data fields.
