I was pretty excited when I got my first running watch. Not only could I now track my runs, but I could also upload my data to Strava and compare my workouts with other athletes.
But then I discovered that my watch was not updating Strava. I tried everything I could think of to fix the issue, but nothing worked. It was frustrating, and I was starting to think that I was going to have to return my watch.
But then I found the solution.
Why Garmin Not Updating Strava?
You may have noticed that your Garmin activities are not automatically syncing to Strava. This is because Strava no longer supports the Garmin Connect service.
Garmin Connect was a service that allowed you to upload your activities to Strava, but it was discontinued in 2019. This means that if you have a newer model of the Garmin watch, you will need to use the Strava app on your phone to sync your activities.
If you have an older model of the Garmin watch, you can still upload your activities to Strava by connecting your watch to your computer and using the Garmin Connect software.
We know that this can be frustrating, especially if you have been using the automatic sync feature for a long time. We are working on a solution to this issue, but in the meantime, we suggest that you try using the Strava app on your phone to sync your activities.

Final Thoughts
So, why is Garmin not updating Strava? It’s a question that has puzzled athletes and fitness enthusiasts for some time now. While the company has not officially stated why it is not updating the app, there are a few potential reasons that could be causing the issue. These include Strava’s API not being compatible with Garmin’s API, a lack of communication between the two companies, or Strava being too focused on its own platform.
Regardless of the reason, the fact remains that Strava users are missing out on the latest features and updates that are available on other platforms. This is a shame, as it means that Strava is not able to keep up with the competition and provide its users with the best possible experience.
