Which other watches work with a Stryd to Run with Power?
Stryd works with all sports watches, but it works better with some than others when assessed using the Which Watch? criteria.
COROS watches
✅ COROS watches (except the Pace 1 and kiprun series) meet all the criteria using native watch functionality.
Wahoo watches
The Elemnt Rival meets all the criteria using native watch functionality, except:
❌ You must plan workouts in third-party apps like TrainingPeaks or Intervals.icu. You cannot download workouts planned in the Stryd ecosystem to the watch.
Suunto watches
Suunto watches will display power while running and record power to workout files for upload to the Stryd ecosystem, but:
❌ You must plan workouts in the Suunto app or in third-party apps like TrainingPeaks or Intervals.icu. You cannot download workouts planned in the Stryd ecosystem to the watch.
❌ Additional Stryd metrics require a manual offline sync (for each completed workout) to transfer them to the Stryd Ecosystem.
Polar watches
Polar watches will display power while running and record power to workout files for upload to the Stryd ecosystem, but:
❌ You must plan workouts in the Polar Flow app or in TrainingPeaks. If you use structured workouts, TrainingPeaks may be the better choice (although you’d need to subscribe to the premium option).
❌ The system does not support structured workouts (although you can build workouts with phases).
❌ Additional Stryd metrics require a manual offline sync (for each completed workout) to transfer them to the Stryd Ecosystem.
Other brands
Stryd continues to work with watch providers (e.g. WearOS, Amazfit) and lists all watches that can be used to Run with Power using a Stryd footpod on their website.
In summary
✅ Ideally: use an Apple Watch, a Connect IQ 5.0.0 Garmin watch, or a COROS watch
🔷 If you must: use a Wahoo watch or an older Garmin watch
❌ Try to avoid: using a Suunto or Polar watch
