+1Hello,
I am the developer of an Apple Watch workout app which exports data to Strava with FIT files and Strava API.
Is there a way to display the Apple Watch device model in Strava like for other watches ?
I suppose I have to use some specific Manufacturer and DeviceID in my FIT file, but I don’t know what to use for an Apple Watch app to be recognized by Strava API
+24I can’t guarantee it will work, but you could try pulling the manufacturer data from an existing FIT file recorded by the Apple Watch and then use that same data in the File ID and Device Info records of the FIT file you create. My guess would be that Strava extracts from one of those two records to determine manufacturer and device.
+1Thanks for your suggestion.
I have tried with an activity imported in Strava from HealthKit with Strava built-in feature.
In this situation, Strava doesn’t use a FIT intermediate file to upload the activity; it directly reads in HealthKit and sets the watch type.
I have exported the Strava activity to a FIT file, but it doesn’t contain any device information.
For third-party apps, Strava is not able to directly import from HealthKit; we must create a FIT file and upload it through the Strava API. But we miss the way to set the source device and/or app.
