Access to the running Strava app on devices

[Ben Doney]

Long story short, I'm wondering if there is a way to access the Strava app while it's running on a device.  I know the Strava API connects to the Strava data store online, but I'm interested in getting real time data from the app to display on a smartwatch.  Does something like this exist?

I've been a long time Strava user for biking and running and just picked up the Samsung Gear S2.  As you may know, the Samsung wearables have chosen the Tizen OS platform.  Tizen in great, but the problem is that Strava (and other vendors) do not support the OS nor have plans to do so.  I've done some Android and Tizen app development in the past, so I figured I would see if there is a way to access Strava over the Bluetooth connection.  So far, no dice!

All I really want to get is distance, duration, elevation change.  And maybe in the future some way to merge heart rate data collected from the watch into the saved activity record.

Ben,

We used to have support for the Samsung Gear2 & Gear Fit in our android app but it has been discontinued. Right now there isn't any supported way for our app to communicate with a Tizen device. For what it's worth, it wasn't done via any public methods or via a bluetooth profile. 

The S2 is certainly a great looking device. I haven't looked in a while, but there might be an existing Tizen app that exports to Strava.

Mateo, please bring support to the gear S2. I bought it for its standalone gps, signal & service. Hoping a few of the major fitness players would eventually support it.
