Which Fitbit products track runs to sync with Strava?

[Zissou10]

My Charge 2 has just given up the ghost however I have been given a discount from Fitbit towards another watch.

Ideally, I'd like one where I can start and stop a run by my watch and it automatically upload it to Strava.

At the moment, I'm having to unlock my phone which won't recognise my fingerprint (sweaty hands), also I risk dropping it when getting out of my pocket etc.

If possible, please could you let me know which of the Fitbit products have this sort of feature?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Community @Zissou10. Thanks for the details mentioned, I'll be happy to clarify your question about Strava. 

Your Fitbit activities will appear on Strava, and runs and rides tracked with Strava will contribute to your all-day Fitbit stats. If you have a Fitbit watch, use the Strava app on your watch to see your last 10 run or bike exercises. If you want to export your GPS data from your Fitbit account to Strava, see How do I export Fitbit data?

 Any Fitbit device that has GPS will help you with this. You can learn more about it by checking this article: How do I connect my Fitbit account with another app?

I'll be around if you have any other questions!

Hi again,

I've been doing some research online and am I right in saying "connected GPS" will need my phone in close proximity for it to track my activities?

Ideally I'd like a new watch/tracker where I can leave my phone at home, go for a run and track that run with my watch, and have it sync to Strava once I've finished.

Of the Fitbit trackers, watches etc do you know which ones come with a GPS that would tick those boxes for me?

Thanks 🙂

Thanks for getting back @Zissou10. Yes, there are some devices that will need your phone in close proximity because they don't come with GPS. However, Fitbit Ionic is the only one that comes with GPS built in, you can learn more about it by checking the Product Manual. 

I'll be around if you need further assistance.
