Turning off certain Strava live segments

How do I turn off certain Strava Live segments?
I'm getting constant alerts of upcoming segments when I out for easy runs. I assumed it would only be the ones that I had made favourite by placing a star at the side of them that would appear on my 735 but there seems to be many more.
Do I have to manually delete them one by one on the watch?

I must say I thought it was only the starred segments that got transferred. Maybe if you unstar they are not getting deleted off. You could delete them all off the watch by deleting them in the SEGMENTS directory and resync, that might work

Check https://www.strava.com/athlete/segments/starred to see if Popular Segments is On. If so turn it Off. Suggest deleting on the watch any segments you don't want as not sure the delete segment instructions always work.

Turning off Segments...

I'm also getting lots of irritating Live Segments updates each time i cross a certain point... how do i turn them all off? Strave Live Segments is turned 'off' on the web, but they still seem to be 'on' on my watch. I can't see where on the watch to delete them either..?
thanks vm.

Menu - Training - Strava Live Segments
Select segment then scroll down and choose delete

I had to do that with all segments I didn't want.

Thanks vm....one-by-one, what a complete faff! It really seems as though Strava and Garmin have got into bed together, making these pointless apps (Live Suffer Score and so on) appear seemingly as standard features on the 735xt, and removing them quite tricky.

Segments is my favourite feature on the 735. If you don't like them why do you use Strava in the first place?

Or, to turn them off - Activity Settings, Segment Alerts and set to Disabled.

The issue I had was it wasn't only just my preferred starred segments but for some reason lots of others. My watch was consistently alerting me to the start of another!

Did turning off Popular Segments (as mentioned above) solve that for you?
