Hi Strava team,

I was reading through the info on developers.strava.com/docs/uploads about how devices are detected from FIT files using the manufacturer and product fields.

I'm working on a small project where I compare GPS performance between different devices — for example, two watches worn during the same race — to analyze things like drift and accuracy. I’m generating FIT files from that data, which include the manufacturer and product ID fields as specified in the FIT format.

I’d like Strava to show the correct device name when those files are uploaded, if possible.

Just wondering:

  • Is there a list somewhere of which manufacturer and product ID pairs in FIT files are recognized by Strava and mapped to device names?

Thanks a lot — this would really help make the activity display clearer in the context of my tool.

Regards,
Arthur
