Strava link - will I get duplicates

[digitaldave]

I recently got a Charge HR, and I'm thinking about linking to my Strava account. However, I would like to know what happens if I do an activity (e.g. cycling) whilst wearing my Charge HR and I also record it on another device with heart rate recording that uploads to Strava. Do I end up with two activities, or is the Fitbit system clever enough to recognise they are the same activity and only record one set of data?

Hope that makes sense!

I thought it would do the same thing, but no they've configured it in a way that only one bike activity i shown under recent activities without having to do anything.

There's some kind of transitional thing that happens though because right after I stop a ride in Strava and look in the Fitbit app to make sure it registered, its says "Outdoor bike", time spent, and a certain cal count burned, then a few minutes later it just says "bike", the time spent, and a diff cal count burned. Pretty similar numbers, but some kind of conversion happens between the two. Either way, it results in only one activity.

Hope this helps.

PS:I started with Strava 2 days ago and I'm THE expert hehe
