I just paid for a premium to be able to use Beacon when I'm out with my bike. I have a new Apple Watch Ultra with cellular and wanted to be able to go for a ride without my phone and a bike computer while still sending my location to my wife.

I rode today and - there seems to be no way to have cadence data? I can't find a way to pair a sensor in the watch or use the already paired sensor (via Apple fitness).

Never in a million years could I have imagined that a cycling app would not support cadence data?

Also, the UI is basically unusable when trying to have a quick glance - the Apple App is miles ahead...

Did I miss something or are there any plans on improving this mess? Seems like I have just waisted 75 EUR on this...

Hey @CommanderBrot, 
Thanks for your post. While we don't currently have the ability to import+read the new external cadence data from Apple Health, we will share your suggestion for this improvement to the appropriate team(s) in charge of exploring how to improve this integration for our Apple Watch athletes.


We also have this suggestion posted on our Ideas Board here on the Community Hub. You can show your support by clicking on the kudos button and adding a comment to the thread.

Idea board is two years old - how long before you actually add this metrics to Strava???

paying premium make no sense without displaying data I already collected on the watch!
