MS Band Users on Strava

[pallentx]

I thought it might be handy to have a MS Band users club on Strava.
Feel free to join in. MS Band Users | Strava Club

 

[Hoekie]

Cool. I joined in.

 

[bockersjv]

Me too

 

[jmerrey]

I joined as well. I'm a mountain biker, so I'm sure my "stats" won't compare. Most of my road rides are high or low gear training (aka torture). Thanks for starting this!

Is there a way to keep my treadmill sessions from syncing with Strava? It seems both "workout" and "run" seem to sync.

 

[bockersjv]

Yep, joined too

Not that I can see. I track my walks, mainly just to see where I have been but also to calibrate the steps. These all show on Strata, so I have to go in and delete them or make them private.

I'm not that interested in the comparisons. I just thought it might be handy to have a group on Strava for Band users to discuss Band issues and Strava.

I don't know of a way to selectively sync certain kinds of data to Strava. It looks like everything goes, even if its just a time for "workout".

Just joined as well. Now to make the rain stop in Colorado so I can get out and ride more lol.

 

[pallentx]

Same here in N Texas. Rain and threatening rain every time I get a chance to ride. I cant complain though, we have been needing it.

What client is everyone using for Stava viewing on their WP? I've been using Kliva, as I find it the most visually pleasing.

 

[bockersjv]

I use Striver, although I tend to view Strava on my surface or laptop.

 

[pallentx]

I don't use Strava on my phone often, when I do, I user CycloMeter. Its not the prettiest, but it has some great features. Upload to Strava is a paid add-on. You can also export your data to a file on OneDrive (I think also a paid add-on, but cheap).

 

[jmerrey]

Does CycloMeter allow you to view Stava users profiles, timelines, etc? The actual uploading and such isn't useful for me as I just let the band upload the data directly.

No, its not a history viewer. I don't ever do that on the phone, but I suspect the mobile web site would work.

 

[jmerrey]

I'm very happy with Kliva at the moment. I have no need to upload from my phone, as the Band/MS Health do that perfectly. An added bonus is the Strava app interprets the calories burned itself, as opposed to using the completely absurd MS Health calories burned readings.

 

[Brian McMahon]

Just joined as well although the weather has been pretty bad here in Scotland at the moment so not much miles being put on the bike

 

[soggs]

Just joined too. I'm not sure how many miles I'll log as I've always used my Garmin for tracking runs, but will see how I get on using the Band as well.

 

[soggs]

Is there any reason why Strava would be showing a shorter distance recorded than theBand has recorded?

I did a run last night and it shows as 3.52 miles on the Band and on MS Health, my Garmin also recorded pretty much the same distance. However, when it synced with Strava the distance has dropped to 3.4 miles.

I can understand small discrepencies between physical devices, but I would expect the distance uploaded to be the same as recorded on the device.

 

[Ittipol Thirasat]

Strava ignore all distance data record by other service and recalculate the distance itself from GPS data.

Thanks for the reply, I guessed that might be the case. Not a big issue, I'll just take the right distance as being on the Band, especially if it's further!
