Been using STRYD Power and then the newer version STRYD Zones as a data field for my running activities since 2017 on Garmin 735 then 935 then 945 and now 945 LTE. It is necessary to have this data field on one screen and Stryd connected as a foot pod to the watch in order to get the specific Stryd metrics (IQ metrics) for running activities.
It does work on the 945 LTE but what happens is the STRYD date field is considered active for all activities (shown in any activity report) and not only in activities in which the data field is installed on one activity page. So a swim will show the STRYD IQ logo and graphs even if empty... no big deal because this activity has no power in it !
But for a BIKE activity, the power is now saved as STRYD IQ power, not as native power and as a consequence is not recognized by TrainingPeaks or other training platforms. The fit file has an empty power column and the power is stored as IQ POWER which is not recognized for a bike ride by training platforms !
Talked with TrainingPeaks about it first, they told me what the issue was. Then talked with Stryd about it and they explained after looking deeply into that issue that it was not a STRYD Data Field issue but a Garmin 945 LTE issue.
Hope this can be solve either in a Beta firmware update of a general public one.
Anybody else facing the same problem when using the watch for running with Stryd but also other activities that include a powermeter ?
