Apple Watch - add stats: power, cadence, vertical oscillation, ground contact, step length, strokes

[martl43]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to have these statistics included with my runs on strava.

I use strava to record my running and view statistics which is great.

First I started using the strava Apple Watch app but it didn't include these extra statistics. I know for example Garmin watches can sync these data to strava running activities, but don't want to buy a new watch and wondered if this is also possible with my Apple Watch. I found out that the workout app on iOS 16.1 and Apple Watch 9.1 includes this data, but not all data is synced to strava .

Is this already on the roadmap or hopefully a good idea to add :)?

Kind regards

Martijn

UPDATE FROM STRAVA (March 18, 2024)

Hello and thank you to everyone who has added their comments and feedback to this topic.

First, we want to say that we appreciate you all reaching out on this matter and sharing your thoughts. We absolutely understand the value of having as much of your activity data on Strava as possible, and how many of our athletes use an Apple Watch to record that data. We do want to let you know that we are committed to improving both the Strava Watch app experience and the integration we have with the Apple Workout app (Healthkit). 

Our team is pushing forward to streamline and improve the user experience with the Strava watch app, making recording and syncing activities easier for athletes. We are also investigating how best to bring over more data from Healthkit to Strava, particularly with the releases of watchOS 9 and watchOS 10. 

We will continue to work towards these goals and monitor this thread. Please be on the lookout for improvements to the Apple Watch experience in the coming year.

Hence Strava we want to have our power meter real data that is gathered by Apple Watch (and cadence) sync to Strava .. not use your algorithm est power data 

“A cycling power meter allows you to see and record exactly how much power you expend on the bike – which provides enormous insight into your fitness. A power meter can not only help you become faster and stronger, but can serve as an important tool on race day, help with motivation during training and tell you when it’s time to rest, just to name a few benefits.

They have become essential training tools for cyclists of all levels who want to accurately measure their performance, become stronger, faster and reach their full potential.”

I’d like to add I’ve spent $$$ for power meters in all 3 of my bikes, crank based that measure both legs with 1.5% accuracy.  It’s annoying that Strava won’t sync real power meter data via Apple Watch.

I am also voting for this to be implemented. It is quite shocking that so much data is available in iOS and not imported to Strava. Cadence should be very basic....
