Stryd works with all sports watches, but it works better with some than others (using the Which Watch? criteria).
𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐎𝐒 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬
✅ COROS watches (except the Pace 1 and kiprun series) meet all the above criteria using native watch functionality.
𝐖𝐚𝐡𝐨𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬
The Elemnt Rival meets all the above 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.
𝐈𝐟 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐩𝐨𝐝
✅ Ideally: use an Apple Watch, a Connect IQ 5.0.0 Garmin watch, or a COROS watch
✅ If you must: use a Wahoo watch
✅ Try to avoid: using a Suunto or Polar watch
