Apple Watch will have a Strava app on launch

Strava has redesigned its mobile app for Apple Watch.

Erik Joule, Strava’s chief marketing and commerce officer, said: “Apple has shaped the space it operates in by pushing the boundaries of technology and design. Strava has been on a similar journey, connecting a global community of athletes through its innovative products and experience. The redesigned app will extend the breadth of Strava’s product portfolio from web and mobile to the most anticipated wearable device of our time, Apple Watch.”

Strava for Apple Watch will allow users to track time, speed and distance in real time, toggle between ride and run modes, and automatically sync activities with their Strava profiles.

“Strava is committed to enhancing the experience for the athlete before, during and after each of his or her activities,” said Kyle Yugawa, design lead at Strava. “Strava for Apple Watch fulfills a big part of this commitment by delivering an optimum ‘live’ experience that leverages Apple’s beautiful design and Strava’s interface.”
