How to customize the list of sports that is displayed on my watch?

[Banosjo]

Hello,

Is there a way to customize the list of sports to choose from when we start a new activity? When I want to select a sport on my watch, I see a whole bunch of sports I don't practice (for instance, skateboard or Alpin skiing). I would like to see only the ones I practice (4 or 5).

Thanks!

I agree this would be very helpful. The list is supposed to update with list commonly selected sports listed first, but that hasn’t happened for me and I’d prefer to delete activities I’ll never use

Hi @Banosjo 

Thanks for getting back to us.  On the Apple Watch App, the activity list cannot be edited manually.  However as you record more activities, the Watch App will use your previously most selected/used sport types and list those first in the list of all available sport types.   I hope that's helpful.

Is it possible to add in a future release the possibility to manually edit the activity list? How can I share this idea with the developers? Thanks 🙂

Hi @Banosjo 

Thanks for your post!  Could you reply and let us know which watch you're using to record?  If you're using the Strava App for Apple Watch you can set your Sport type in your settings.  See instructions here.

I'm using an Apple Watch. I didn't see in your instructions link the way to select the activities I want to see in the drop down list when I want to start a new activity. I currently have 50 activities to choose from and I only practice 2 or 3 of them. I would like to see only them in the drop down list.
