When selecting rowing on my Steel HR the system is trying to track my GPS location, and distance covered etc. As I am on a rowing machine this is a bit pointless.
It would therefore be useful to differentiate between the two forms of activity, I am guessing the same maybe true for cycling.
The ultimate would be to link HR monitoring from the watch with the the data I have logged from my Concept 2 PM5.

Hello,
Thank you very much for providing your valuable future request! We are always interested in enhancing our activity detection for our Steel HR firmware updates.
Also just in case you would like more information about our GPS tracking feature please see this article on our help center: https://support.withings.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009456733-Steel-HR-Steel-HR-Sport-Frequently-asked-questions-about-connected-GPS
Hello
I was also using rowing type for rowing machine, but it was also counting my steps is this normal?

I agree, indoor rowing would be a worthwhile Activity option. Syncing with a chest HR monitor and partnering with the WaterRower app would also be a great addition.

This feature would make even more sense currently - with self-isolation and restrictions on outdoor activities here in the Uk, my indoor rowing is my mine form of exercise.

That is my main mean of exercise as it is the only thing that can train most parts of my body. How do you guys record it right now.
@Devs please add some indoor rowing support. It is the only reason why I still prefer my old Huawei watch over my Withings watch.

I'm only 12 days into ownership so I'm just learning about which activity is best. I first tried using the Rowing activity, but that wanted to use assisted gps to track my location. I next tried using the Fitness activity. It didn't use assisted gps so that was good, but it also didn't seem to track my HR.
Still looking for the best activity for Indoor Rowing that will record time, HR, calories. Reps would be a nice feature or fully integrating into the WaterRower app for HR, distance, cadence, etc. would be ideal.

Did anyone find a solution to this? Just moved from Fitbit to Withings and am missing this...

I'd love to see this as well.

We have three watches (2x Scanwatch and a Stell HR) and a Concept 2 PM5 unit, we would like to request this feature as well. We kinda assumed it was possible OTB, but was apparently mistaken.
So if our comments in any way can have weight on the issue, let it be known that we would really enjoy/request this integration.
Kind Regards,

Indoor rowing with third party integration with erg pm5 should definitely be the next feature priority
