Android Developer Story: Strava sees 30% more daily active users by expanding to Wear OS
summary
Strava expands its app to Wear OS and reports concrete wins: support for 15 sport types, real-time metrics, and Beacon safety for live location sharing; uses Wear Health Services for longer battery life and Google sensor-fallback to estimate distance when GPS drops out; integrates Google's APIs, libraries, and Android tools to speed development; outcome is measurable—wearable users log 25% more activities and show 30% more active days than non-wearable users.
