comment: batch update
Stryd has remarkable levels of integration with a wide array of running watches. It supports both Bluetooth and Ant+, and it can look like a standard Footpod, or a cycling power meter. There are a large number of combinations of watches and configurations to consider, and I will return to this issue and update this section in the near future. I'll also include some recommendations of the best watch is to use with Stryd.
==Bluetooth or Ant+==
Stryd supports both Bluetooth and Ant+, and both work well. Bluetooth has the limitation that you can only have one receiver talking to Stryd at a time, so you can't have it linked to two different watches simultaneously, or to a watch and your smart phone at the same time. (I have had occasions where the stride Stryd has stayed linked to my smart phone, so I've had to turn off Bluetooth on my phone to allow stride Stryd to link to a watch.) With Ant+ you can have as many watches linked simultaneously, and it's possible to have stride Stryd linked to both one Bluetooth watch and several Ant+ watches at the same time. If you're using Garmin [[Connect IQ]], you can have Stryd work as both a standard Footpod and connected via the Connect IQ data field.
=The App=
The Stryd app is rather limited, and I mostly use it just to sync data with the web site.
