Good afternoon,

I know there are a lot of options out there, but I am trying to find a fitness watch that takes advantage of all the features of Strava. Any suggestions?

 

Thank you,

Gary

My 2c… any decent smart/sports watch with multiband GPS (e.g. Apple Watch, Garmin, Coros). The native workout tracking apps are usually much more detailed than Strava in terms of custom screens, metrics, complex training sessions or notifications. And then just sync to Strava.

Regarding Strava features the watch should be able to use routes created in Strava and to show Strava live segments.

I agree with ​@Jana_S    
My own choice of Watch is Apple but I know of others that use Garmin. 
The advice I’d offer is think about what else you want from the device (payments, text, WhatsApp, general notifications etc) and factor that into your decision.
