No Cadence Data in Strava Apple Watch App

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...

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!
