If you are an Apple Watch user and love using the fitness app Strava, you might be wondering how to sync both devices. Luckily, it is a simple process that allows you to record your activities directly from your Apple Watch and automatically sync them with your Strava account.
Installing the Strava App on Apple Watch
To install Strava on your Apple Watch, follow these steps:
1. Download the Strava app on your iPhone if you haven’t done so already, and make sure it is up to date and you are logged in.
2. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and go to the “My Watch” section.
3. Find the Strava app and install it on your Apple Watch.

Recording Activities using the Strava App on Apple Watch
After installing the app, you can easily record activities using the Strava app on your Apple Watch. Simply open the app on your watch and select the type of activity you want to record. The app will ask for permission to access your location and health data the first time, but afterwards, you will be able to record runs, rides, and workouts directly from your watch. These activities will automatically sync with your Strava account without the need to carry your phone, as the app utilizes the GPS on your Apple Watch.
Settings in the Strava App
If you want to customize settings like automatic pausing or enable heart rate readings in the Strava app, you can do so directly within the app on your watch. Additionally, if you prefer to record your workouts using the Apple Workout app, you can still sync them with your Strava account. In the Strava app on your iPhone, go to settings, navigate to “Apps, Services, and Devices,” and enable automatic syncing of activities from the Apple Health app.
