Better to log with strava or samsung health ?

[henacynflin]

Hi All,

As samsung health and strava syn c with each other I have a question. When I go for a run, or a ride, should I log the activity on my watch using the strava app or the samsung health app ? Is there an advantage of doing one over the other in the data collected?

Cheers

Alan

I can't see any difference in data between them. For cycling the watch still as a long way to go for me to ditch my garmin.
I use SH to record walking as Strava as no auto pause when walking, it also dont show the time of day like SH does. I'm going to uninstall Strava and just stick with SH

I have just noticed that when using Strava on watch the activity doesn't sync back to SH

On mine it does, but it can take some time until it happens. Sometimes a few hours

I've just noticed that when 'running' SH gives running metrics from myotest.com which strava does not

You was right, my strava walk is now showing in SH.
