Wait, the smartwatches don't upload activities directly to Strava, do they? They connect to their manufacturer's cloud service (Garmin Connect etc), and Strava has API integrations with them, doesn't it?
So what's missing are the integrations from Endurain to the big manufacturers' platforms (if they are missing, haven't checked the code).
- navanchauhan 3y agoNot sure about others, but for Apple Watches: Apple Watch -> Health App <- Strava Strava can directly import workouts from the health app if you don’t like using their app to record your workouts
- heavenlyblue 3y agoI don't think that's how Strava on Apple Watch works
- dwrowe 3y agoIt works like this if you're simply using the Apple Workouts app on your watch, instead of the Strava app. If you use the Strava app, it'll upload directly, as well as, write to your Health data. If you use Apple Workouts, it'll detect the workout for Import (if you don't automatically import), and read that from Health.
- ReleaseCandidat 3y agoCould be that they do that directly now, but some years ago you had to "route" the data through their (Suunto's and Garmin's) servers, yes.
- _boffin_ 3y agoI guess I’m tangentially working on doing that for Apple Watch for some personal stuff. I can do a blog post on it sometime.
