Of course, a smartwatch will give you certain data points you’re craving that a handheld phone cannot - including heart rate and heart rate zones - and may even be a tad less accurate on other important information pending GPS signal strength. When it comes to actually logging activity, individuals can choose to share their workouts with the app via smartwatch or record an effort (options range from running and cycling to more unconventional picks like kitesurfing, snowshoeing, and stand up paddleboarding) live using the 'record' feature.

Users can also create and join clubs, in which activity readouts from members appear all in one place. This is the basis for the app, as well as offering up users a place to share their route data. In this feed, you’ll see workouts logged by the people you follow, and there you can give them 'kudos' for a job well done or leave a comment on that particular effort. Similar to Instagram or Facebook, each athlete has a home feed.

Strava is essentially the social fitness app built for endurance athletes, where you’ll find everyone from your neighbor to seasoned pros like Molly Seidel and Meb Keflezighi logging their workouts.
