Health app Duplicate data import (Strava)

Hello,

Has anyone else noticed a bug in iOS10 for 3rd party data imports? My data sources are watch and Strava. I noticed that if I used an activity on Watch and also logged that activity on Strava, it would double import the data and stats. asking it seem like I doubled my calories burned and my workout time/distance. I believe if its the same workout its supposed to use a priority import (which I believe is watch and not sure if there is a way to change the priority input). But even after I stopped using the watch and Strava for the same workout, I noticed that my Strava data was duplicating. For instance only using Strava a ride would appear multiple times in the activity for Cycling. This means its doubling the time/distance/Cal burn. Certainly not ideal when tracking your health stats.

Hardware: Iphone 6 running iOS 10.0.1/ IPhone 7 running iOS 10.0.1

Watch v.1 running wOS 3.0

Strava - Data comes from Strava not iOS App for Strava. (bug also reported to Strava)

iPhone 6, iOS 10

I'm finding the same issue. All my rides dating back a couple of months are posted multiple times. I am only using the Strava app to track my rides. No other devices other than my phone. I have just this week started checking Apple Health and noticed them all. I wish I was actually riding as often as they say I am! Obviously this makes the whole system useless as it is not accurately gauging my workouts. Sure I can go in and delete them all, but for now all my historical data is wrong and it is clearly an issue with how the two systems are communicating.

SHowley,

This is a problem from the Strava App. I worked with Strava and they said they will put in a bug fix request. If you edit your activity via the Strava app, the multiple entries will appear in Health App. If you use the browser or do not edit in the app, only one entry will appear in Health.
