So once I have my Segments loaded into watch and turned on via Strava, they never turn off. I tried "un-starring" all my Strava favorites and turning SEGMENTS off on watch, but it continues to alert me on my runs. I finally had to go into the GARMIN/SEGMENTS folder on the watch and deleted all the .FIT files. Seems as those should be deleted after unstarring them in Strava and syncing the watch! Also, even with SEGMENT ALERTS deselected in my RUN SETTINGS, the watch still vibrates and tries to navigate the segments.
I have this problem too. If I am going out for fun it is nice to see segments, but I do not want to be bothered by these when doing some serious training or during a race. But there seems to be no way to turn them off! I can only do this by manually deleting them and then I had to disconnect and re-connect to Strava to get them to sync back again.
I have found (and was told by someone else) that when you use Strava live segments, Garmin or Strava give you extra segments in your locality in addition to those starred. I'd prefer to be able to select which ones to have rather than extras being added. Or at least the option to exclude those I explicitly do not want. I wonder if this is controlled by Garmin or Strava?
I would like to see an option in the watch to be able to disable strava segments. If this exists, I have not found it, although I had not seen the Segments Alerts option until you pointed this out. I'll try this later but based on what you say, this will not work to disable them.

I strongly agree. I only want the segments I've marked as stared on Strava. All the alerts and navigation suggestions for segments I'm not slightly interrested in are annoying. It would be desireble to have the option to choose if one wants only stared segments or suggested segments as well.
I subsequently found there is a way to prevent non starred segments from being synced. If you go into Strava, on your segments page set the option Popular Segments to off. This prevents Strava from syncing "random" segments you may not want.
Unfortunately, this does not seem to cause them to be deleted from the watch once they have been synced. But you can delete these from the watch by going into your run app -> Training -> Strava Live Segments -> <segment> -> Delete.
Once you have done this you should not get anything other than segments you star in future.

Do you know if there is another way to remove the segments from your Fenix that you already 'unstarred' in Strava?
After 'unstarring' all my segments in Strava and choosing 5 random new ones, there is no change in my Fenix after the sync.
I do not use a computer syncing so manual removal is out of option and the solution with Garmin App is not working on all segments in the watch (like there is some kind of a bug that prevents from removing a few that left).
Hi. I cant seem to see the “Popular Segments” toggle in the “My Segments” page on the Strava website. Just shows three tabs Starred Segments, Created Segments and Hidden Segments.
I have un-starred segments, re-synced, but when I run the segment, the race thing takes over. Super annoying. is there a solution to prevent this? I don't have a premium strava account either. segment is in connect.
