Back in September 2022, Huawei added Strava as an integration. One of the downsides of Huawei wearables is a lack of third-party services, so the addition of Strava was a big deal.
Why does it matter so much? As runners, we've found that Huawei smartwatches are pretty decent running watches and fitness wearables – but Strava is the place to have this data..
If you’re a Huawei user looking to hook up Strava, read on for everything you need to know. The company recently changed this slightly, so we've updated this how-to guide.
How to connect Huawei and Strava
Wareable
1. Open the Huawei Health app on iOS or Android
2. Head to the Me tab
3. Go to Privacy Management
4. Tap Data Sharing and authorization
5. Tap Strava
6. Log in to your Strava account
Once you go through the above steps, your accounts will be linked. That means any workout tracked on your Huawei smartwatch will be synced over to Strava.
However, older workouts won't be added.
Which Huawei devices work with Strava?
Wareable
As the integration is between the Huawei Health app and Strava platform, it doesn’t matter which smartwatch you use.
Just work out as normal, and when you sync your device with Huawei Health, you'll see the workout appear within Strava.
