Any plans for hiking mode on RIVAL?

Hi there. A newcomer to the wahoo ecosystem.

Did anyone know if there are any plans for adding hiking mode in the Rival watch. Should I use running metrics instead?.

Regards

Welcom @Diodati.

I’m not aware of any plans, but you can create your own profile using the ELEMNT app. That way you can create a customized set of displays and data fields suited for hiking or any other activity.

See ELEMNT App → RIVAL → Settings → Workout Profiles → Add workout profile

@Diodati It is already there but in the extended menu so you need to add it to your list.

Hi. Just to clarify, does this mean walking/hiking will appear in the activity menu on the watch, or do you record it as a run then change it afterwards?
Not got one yet but very tempted…
Thanks

Confirmed, you select walking or hiking as the workout mode on the watch. This can be setup with different screens, data views etc on the watch vs running. And will transfer to Strava etc with walking / hiking as the activity type, nothing needs to be manually changed.
