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

Strava doesn't seem to integrate seamlessly with Apple Watch heart rate data either. It's frustrating that if I start an activity on my phone, it doesn't capture my heart rate from my watch. I have to launch Strava directly on the watch to get any Apple Watch data in Strava at all. I don't know if this is an Apple Health issue or Strava not developing for Apple's platform.

yes, it sucks, Found another App call "Cadence" that broadcasts the HR to the phone display, so pretty much does what the new apple fitness does and possible even better, then the workout with power is uploaded to Stava.
if they are now fixing such functionality they can not expect we don't discuss about other better products

@Sapo74  wait here .. so your using the Cadance iPhone app and its companion AW app instead of Apple workout . View that onscreen , then upon done it syncs to Strava all data (gps, health HR, and from powermeter cadence and watts) .

Apple health gets updated as well I take it?
if so, I’m confused why that app can do it and Apple exercise can’t.

It is absolutely insane that this function has not been added yet. Come on, Strava.

Bump!

Still no update on this feature? Is Strava trying to discourage Apple Watch users from using Strava? The fact that no ETA is given makes me suspect this feature isn't even in their development pipeline?

How is this taking this long? It's been more than a year and a half since this was proposed, and the lack of data being uploaded from Apple Watch is getting worse and worse as more and more data is tracked from Apple Watch. Strava needs to keep up to date with important tracking info. You're able to upload this from Garmin, and yet not from Apple Watch? The leading Smart Watch on the market (maybe not leading for fitness, but you get the idea)? People are paying expensive monthly subscriptions through Strava to get a great fitness tracking platform, but this is currently not the case. Yes technology keeps changing, but Strava is not staying up to date with the latest by any means.

A cycling activity? "Yeah no we don't track Power from the most sold Smart Watch..."

A triathlon upload activity from Apple? "Yeah we don't know what that is either..."

An indoor cycling activity? Strava says "yeah no you can't manually add in the mileage, just keep that blank and find a workaround..."

Strava, please, focus on what's truly important, and stay relevant.

+1 for power readings now that Apple Watch tracks them and they're a standard Strava metric
