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!

Jo

I agree we need a way to manage this. The hierarchical list doesn't always put the most used sport at the top, and sporadically resets it after an OS update. A simple tool to reject the sports that we don't participate in would be exceptionally useful.

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.

This is broke now, most recent/used activities are no longer at the top, way too many activities to choose from making it difficult to select the right one. Need the option to remove clutter activities that we never use.

Strava fixed this in their most recent update, FYSA. My most used activities are now at the top of the list when I open my Apple Watch app. 🙌

YES! This is now broken …it no longer moves most used to the top. Super annoying to scroll to bottom of list every day!

I now have the same issue. My most used activities no longer bubble to the top of the list. I recently had had to start schooling through countless activities to find the ones that I use regularly. It is annoying. We need to be able to adjust these manually or Strava needs to fix the previous setup. (Please and thank you!🙏🏼)

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 🙂
