Strava app and activity app

Why won't all the data from the strava app or garmin connect app transfer over to the iWatch activity app?


Currently if I complete a run or a cycle workout on strava or garmin connect, the active calories do not transfer and will not "count" toward the activity goal for the day. However, the exercise minutes do count toward your exercise goal. All this does is make you have to wear two devices if you want to get credit (active calories) for your workout via the move goal on the activity app.


Any chance on actually integrating all the data between apps?

Apple Watch, watchOS 3

Hi,


having had the same issues with sync between Strava and Apple Watch I am very happy to report that behavior seems to have changed. Even many of my historic entries from Strava now show data in both calories categories in Activity App on iPhone when looking at the details of the run / cycling session. Please note that from my experience as recent as this morning 0 calories was shown originally right after the run - after a while though the calories data appeared. My guess is that this is normal and similar behavior to other Strava Data in the app / site only showing up after a certain amount of time. Hope you can confirm for yourself that recording a run with Strava app now works as expected with Activity App and Health Database.

Hi,


I have a similar issue. I use my garmin bike computer and the workout gets recorded correctly and synced to the Health data. It even appears as a workout in the activity app on the iPhone itself along with the active calories, but the active calories from the workout do not aggregate along with the active calories on the Apple watch to work toward hitting my goal.


When I check my watch after the workout, it says 248 active calories even though the workout that got synced over itself has 320 active calories. I waited for hours during the course of the day and still it did not aggregate.


Thanks,


Ivan
