Any workaround to track tennis?

Former Member over 5 years ago

I know there's no official activity named "tennis". The frustrating thing is when I try to make a tennis activity by cloning or duplicating an existing activity like "indoor running", it shows up on the screen as "indoor running (2)". Is there a way to rename "indoor running (2)" to tennis?

Anyone know of an activity that is closest to tracking these things I want to save when I play tennis?

- current heartrate and history

- step count

- calories

That's all I want. Things that get recorded in a running activity like pace, GPS, elevation are meaningless in tennis and I DON'T want those recorded.

Also if anyone can point me to how to write a tennis activity app, let me know. I've downloaded the SDK and have coded a few watchfaces.

I do use a tennis app I found in the app store but I don't need to track score. I want a simple tennis activity tracker, that's all!

Am looking for this as well. When u used indoor running, were the steps / distance reported or tracked accurately?

How does one feedback to garmin to add tennis or racket game?

I've been using the Track Me activity on my Forerunner 935. It gives me HR, distance, calories. Does not give me steps however. I think it works pretty well.

thanks; i used Cardio and Dozen Walk from ConnectIQ to track the steps.

but these days i don't bother tracking anymore

I'm not sure why Garmin can't do this natively till today. :(
