Strava Ends Support for Wear OS 2.x Running Watches

Strava is ending support for its Wear OS 2.x app on April 30th, 2019 because of some major changes in the operating system that will make it less power efficient and more difficult to update. If you’re still using one of these watches, now’s a good time to upgrade or get your money back.

Strava has announced that they will no longer support the Wear OS 2.x running watches. This means that all users who have a watch with this operating system, will be unable to use Strava’s services on their watch.

Strava has stated that it would no longer support Wear OS 2.X.X running watches as of today. Furthermore, the firm said that it would only function with smartwatches that run Wear OS 3 and are newer. This formal announcement was made on the company’s blog, and it specifically specifies Wear OS 3 support. Surprisingly, the Wear OS 2 version is used by the majority of smartwatches on the market. Most popular watches, such as the Fossil Gen 5 series, Oppo Watch, Suunto 7, Ticwatch Pro 3, Ticwatch E3, and others, that operate on prior OS updates are included.

In the market, only Galaxy Watch 4 & Watch 4 Classic run on new Wear OS 3 software. As per the Google announcement, in the future Fossil Gen 6, Ticwatch Pro 3 & E3 will get the OS 3 in 2022. That means apart from Samsung’s new watches, not a single smartwatch is running on this version, nor a sign of it in next few months. Strava should have waited few more months or year before terminating the support, as most users are still new to their watches.

If you are using Wear OS 2.x.x based smartwatch, then soon you will get the notice of the termination from Strava. If you are using Galaxy Watch 4 duo, then you don’t have to worry, and you can download the official Strava app from Play Store. There is no notice yet for older Tizen OS watches, WatchOS, Garmin & Fitbit watches.
