When using Strava on Apple Watch it does not record distance. It records all other parameters fine, route, heart rate, elevation etc. also when cycling or skiing it records distance just fine. I have tried reloading the app on phone and watch. Hope someone can help. Thanks
Hello
Additionally, it sounds like you are also using the Strava Apple Watch app to record activities using the Outdoor Ride and possibly Alpine Ski sport types. Reading your description, it sounds like recording using the Outdoor Ride and Alpine Ski sport types provide you with finished activities that contain both a distance figure as well as GPS data as indicated by the map on the activities. Can you confirm whether this is the case? Additionally, can you confirm whether your outdoor walk activities contain GPS data?
If you have not done so already, I recommend opening the Settings app on your phone, navigating to the Apps category, locating Strava, and verifying whether the Motion and Fitness permission is enabled.
I'll keep an eye out for your reply so that we can continue exploring this situation.
Thanks, I can indeed confirm I am using the Apple Watch Strava app and for walk it doesn’t show distance but does show distance for outdoor ride and alpine ski. I can also confirm that even though it doesn’t show distance for outdoor walk it does record gps data and shows me the route once I sync with my iPhone. I have also checked that the motion and fitness permission is enabled. Thanks again for your help
