Something I would really like is if my watch got what kind of sports I’m doing more accurately. I go horse riding every Friday, I have a calendar event called horse riding and the location has a horse riding center on maps. Still, after 30 minutes my watch goes “are you running outdoors?”

Same with badminton on Sundays. Yes I could remember to start it, but usually I forget. Last Friday I remembered but apparently did not hit start correctly so my watch did not record and thought I was running indoors after 30 minutes.

Hmmmmm maybe they don’t have data like common exercise patterns for each sport, like idk I don’t really do much sports so just nonsense here, like heart rate goes to 120 for 2 mins then low as 90 for 2 minutes for typical badminton so they would make an accurate guess? Idk if such a thing exists.

I was going more by pattern. If the watch recognizes I’m working out, and I have an appointment in my calendar that’s called “horse riding” and I am currently in the location of a horse riding center, how likely is it then that I am jogging?

Right, I was doing something like “guessing the right trip photo for user from over 10,000+ photos” today myself, similar situation else yours, so I agree on the right assumption if location + exercises patterns + routines meet a certain sport, it should give u a reasonable guess as option.
