Strava_apple-watch_2.0_EN_Ride.jpgStrava fitness app updated for Apple Watch 2
Got the latest Apple Watch 2? You’ll want to be downloading the new Stava app then, which has been updated for Apple’s latest device.
The Strava app makes full use of the Watch’s built-in GPS so you can monitor your speed and distance, as well as heart rate using the sensor on the back of the watch. It does all that without needing to be connected to a smartphone so you can save the battery on that for Instagramming and making phonecalls.
“Research and athlete feedback often drives new Strava features and integrations,” said Mateo Ortega, Head of Integration for Strava. “We’re excited to add to our growing list of compatible devices and see this as the first step in providing our athletes with an excellent Strava experience on the Apple Watch Series 2. Our athletes can look forward to continued updates as we strive to provide the best Watch experience possible.”
If you’re already using Strava on your Apple Watch, the device will automatically update to the latest version. It’s available now in the iOS app store as a free download.
The Strava app is also available on that other wearable tech platform, Android Wear 2.0, which was announced earlier this month but we must have been out because we missed that news. You can get it in the Google Play app store right here.

David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes.
