** I found some smoothing and rounding of the pace data, but not much.
* [[Polar M400]]
** Pair as a normal footpod. Remember this is using Bluetooth, so if you have a problem it might be because the Stryd is still linked to your phone.
** You can set the M400 to give distance and pace from footpod, while recording GPS tracks.
** There's no smoothing of pace in the M400 so it's nicely responsive.
** Connect IQ gives power display, and it records all the other Stryd data like Ground Contact time.
** You can't get distance from Stryd with GPS active, which means you have to run in indoor/treadmill mode. (The 920XT/235 can have pace from Stryd with GPS, but not distance).
* [[Garmin Fenix 2]]
** Pair as a normal footpod.
** Set the "Foot Pod Speed" to "Always On". I expected this to just provided pace from Stryd, but it actually does distance as well. The GPS track is recorded normally and navigation functions are enabled.
** You have to choose between cadence and power display. (Power-in-cadence requires the iOS Stryd app and this feature may be removed in the future.)
* [[Suunto Ambit3]], [[Suunto Ambit2]]
** Pair as a normal footpod.
** You have to ensure that the sports mode you're using is set to use a footpod. If you don't see the Ambit3 search for a footpod when you start the exercise, you need to change the configuration on the Suunto web site. (I've tested the Ambit3 Run/Ambit2 R versions.)
** If a footpod is found, the Ambit3 & Ambit2 will get pace and distance from the footpod and override the GPS data. (This means you can use the Ambit2/3 in the lowest GPS accuracy mode to extend battery life while getting accurate pace & distance from Stryd.)
** You have to choose between cadence and power display. For the Ambit3 (Bluetooth), you get 210 watts displayed as a cadence of 21. The Ambit2 (Ant+) is rather unusual in that it will halve the value of the power, so 210 watts will be displayed as 105. (Power-in-cadence requires the iOS Stryd app and this feature may be removed in the future.)
** The Ambit3 & Ambit2 both do quite a bit of smoothing of pace information, so it's not quite as quick to respond as other some other watches.
** With the higher end Ambit 2/3 (above "Run" models) you can use the Stryd in bike mode and get the power estimate that way. However, I strongly believe that accurate pace and distance is vastly more useful than an estimate of power, so even the higher end watches should be used in run mode with power in cadence.
* [[Suunto Spartan Ultra]]
** The pairing of Stryd to the SSU is tricky. It seems that if you pair as a footpod, then pair as a power pod you can get power in outdoor mode (but not distance/pace) and distance/pace in indoor/treadmill mode. If you just pair as a footpod, you can get get pace/distance information with GPS enabled.
** If you have a sports mode which uses both footpod and power pod, then the Spartan only sees the uses it as a footpod. Therefore, you can't have the native power display in the Spartan and have distance/pace from Stryd. Therefore have to choose between cadence and power display-in-cadence mode, and as this is Bluetooth, you get 210 watts displayed as a cadence of 21. (Power-in-cadence requires the iOS Stryd app and this feature may be removed in the future.)
** Like the other Suunto devices, there's quite a bit of dampening that reduces responsiveness.
* [[Garmin 620]], [[Garmin 225]], [[Garmin 610]], [[Garmin 910XT]], [[Garmin 310XT]]
** Pair Stryd as a normal footpod.
** You can't get distance from Stryd with GPS active, which means you have to run in indoor/treadmill mode.
** You have to choose between cadence and power display.(Power-in-cadence requires the iOS Stryd app and this feature may be removed in the future.)* [[Polar V800]]. Stryd only pairs as a bike power pod, not a footpod, so you can't get it to work in running modes. You can get power from Stryd, but only in cycling modes. Even in indoor cycling mode there's no pace data from Stryd. (There's [https://twitter.com/PolarGlobal/status/846714305429032960 a tweet from the Polar Global] Twitter account on March 28<sup>th</sup> saying "Good news to share: STRYD support is coming to V800 but I'm afraid we can't share any timeline yet" in reply to a question on Stryd support in running mode.)
* [[Leikr]]. I could not get the Stryd to work with the Leikr.
