Strava segments will be disabled temporary

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

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

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.

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

GuillaumeF

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

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.

MdzOtt

@isazi I noticed and the S9B is included. But no segments come across from Strava.
update: i disconnected from Strava, removed all routes, and connected back. The routes came across fine, but still no segments.
update2: i got it working, eventually. I disabled all starred segments in Strava, disconnected Strava in Partner services, uninstalled the SA, rebooted the phone, installed SA again, reconnected to Strava, re-starred a few segments in Strava. After a few minutes, they showed in SA. An extra sync and they now show on the watch. I am not saying that all these steps are required, but that after all these steps it started to work.
@Vylli it is worth the try. Most of the configuration is kept in the watch (usually, we complain about it), so there is not that much you need to do after the reinstallation. Of course, you need to pair the watch again and set up notifications.
