Strava just turned Apple Watch syncing back on following backlash

Strava has turned Apple Watch syncing back on, following its decision to remove the option to sync activities that have been not been recorded directly with Strava to Apple Health last week. The change meant you couldn't record a run or ride on a Garmin, upload it to Strava, and sync it to your watch.

In a statement today, Strava said, "Our attempt to prevent duplicate activity uploads from posting to Strava created unintended consequences for our athlete community. After listening to their feedback and assessing the situation we have decided to turn syncing back on for third-party applications to Apple Health."
