Strava segments will be disabled temporary

[Prenj]

Any news on Strava live segments? Has this been abandoned completely?

[isazi]

@Prenj works on Vertical, will get back to the other watches that supported it with the coming firmware update. This is what I know. Also DC Rainmaker tested it in the Vertical review.

But it will work only for Strava premium members.

[Egika]

Yeah, Strava changed it on their end so that only premium users can get it through their api…
What a pity

[dulko79]

@Egika but from beginning it was meant for all users?

[Egika]

@dulko79 right. In the beginning it was working also for unpaid Strava accounts

[trailcafe]

@isazi how do I get it? I am premium user but it is not in my S+ app list…

[trailcafe]

@sartoric I already have a Vertical but do not have Strava segments. FW 2.25.46

[isazi]

@trailcafe Vertical also is not final.

Which Suunto watches will be compatible?
I have the 5 peak

@Guillaume-Faure don’t remember, maybe all that support S+ guides.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@trailcafe check your guides. I think you need to have a fieldtest account or be an official reviewer to have that feature.

any news for the firmware update ?

[isazi]

@GuillaumeF it should be real soon.

Following this procedure makes now Strava Live segment (both running and cycling) syncing well on my Suunto App
Will go for a run to test today or tomorrow

[Janne Leppamaki]

Tested with S9PP / running and worked fine

I’d actually quite like that, what’s the process to apply or at least be considered? Thanks in advance

I am trying to get the Strava segments showing up in the watch and have no success.

I loaded the beta (pre-release) f/w to the watch and for a brief moment, the starred segment (only one) showed up in the SA. But it never loaded into the watch.

I disconnected the Strava account, went through the problems of reconnecting, connected back, and… nothing.

I dropped all starred segments in Strava, restarred a few, disconnected and connected back to Strava, and still nothing.

Is there some secret handshake needed to get it going? Do I need to load some additional guide or app?

The instructions on Suunto site are pretty simple and straightforward. I must be missing some step.

Any advice?

@MdzOtt I have tried everything I can think of but no luck with my S9B. Live segments work fine on my wives vertical though.

[isazi]

The segments have been officially announced by Strava too.
