Hi, I’ve been using Strava for a few weeks now and every ride I’ve recorded using Apple workouts via my watch or Oura ring via record activity have been imported to Strava fine and auto recognised all the various segments and added them. Never planned routes just go out and ride.

i spent today setting up a new Garmin 1040, linked Strava and did a short 5 mile ride, one that I’d done several times using Apple workouts.

it imported OK but shows no segment times, even though there’s at least 10, does that mean that I have to import every Strava segment I want to use into my Garmin before it will record segment times. 
I did notice I hadn’t told garmin connect to use Strava segments, will that be enough?

 

thanks 

It's been a while since I used a Garmin, but don't they have several profiles to choose from... like road, e-bike, indoor, and off-road?   If you accidentally uploaded as e-bike or indoor... then Strava won't match segments to that activity.  You need to edit that activity to be just "ride".   Strava's "live segments" on Garmin is totally optional, and shouldn't affect a regular ride segment matching.  

 

As ​@JBW-Florida mentioned, the first thing to check would be the activity type that the ride uploaded to Strava as.  Make sure when you look at it in Strava that it is listed as a “ride”.  The next thing I would double check would be the privacy setting on the activity in Strava.  Did it load as visible to everyone or just you?  If you want, you can post a link to the activity here and we can take a look and see if there might be some other factor playing into it.

There should not be anything related to it being that particular device that would limit segment matching, so it is most likely something to do with the settings in the device.

​@TrevorAustin - did any of the advice anchskier and JBW-Florida gave help? Let us know!

Thanks, I didn't see I'd had any replies.  Yes, I think I had 2 issues, firstly I'd set the ride type wrong in my Garmin, and secondly I hadn't correctly 'starred' the segments I wouldn't to pop up. Seems to. Be working as I hoped now. 

 

Thank you all.
