But after you follow any of these options, your Apple Watch data is now synced with the Fitbit app so you can join in on the fun. So you're not tied to using just one.There are a few different ways that you can connect Apple Watch to Fitbit, with the first option being the most “labor-intensive” solution. Of course, you can change aggregator any time you like and import your old runs. Do all your running mates use a particular site already? So many choices. Do you want a aggregator site that will help your training? Will you be motivated on a segment when some club runner smashes your time with no hope of winning the segment (Strava I'm looking at you). Then think about what data you want to see after the run. That will dictate the host repository (, for example). pick a running watch with the features that you want whilst you are running. Aggregation sites are great if all your running mates have different watches (garmin, Polar, nike, FitBit) and you want to all pool your data into (for example) Strava to compare your progress. Also, if like me you're a loaner and don't want to share your data, you'll not need an aggregator. Things are slightly more complicated now because the running watches have more sophisticated data and mechanisms to work out your performance (VOx, vertical oscillation, anyone?). I've occassionally pushed my Nike+ data into Fetch to take advantage of their running analytics, race-time predictor etc. Another aggregator - does a similar thing.

Strictly anyone on Strava can publish a segment, and others can try and get the fastest time on that segment. Strava is an aggregator, and one of their distinctive features is to promote 'segments'. So (for example) Ash (first reply above) is pulling his FitBit data out of their repository, and automatically pushing it into Strava. Then, you have the data aggregators which can pull data from the repositories.

Personally I use FitBit (I have Flex) and Nike+ for historical reasons. You've basically got fitness data creators (Nike, Garmin, FitBit, Suunto, Polar etc and the smartphone apps) and each of these have a repository for their data.

What set up do you have and what would anyone recommend? I know it's not personally everyone's cup of tea but I like seeing the stats, it keeps me motivated and allows me to track my progress! Nothing like going from 10:33 pace (including C25K walking intervals) to 6:49 pace (just running) in a few months to make you feel chuffed with yourself! I don't have any experience with any others - Garmin's platform, Nike Running?, RunKeeper? Are those even things? Also seems to be a lot of features reserved for "Strava Premium"? Just seen you can connect Fitbit with Strava - / though, so now I am more intrigued. I've created a Strava account and I'm intrigued but I feel like it's reserved for the "cool kids/elites" and I'm not one of them! There's a whole bunch of terminology I don't understand (segments? CR?) but maybe if I spent a bit more time I'd be won over. My only real experience is with Fitbit and I like it but I don't really get the "community" vibe unless you have friends added (which I don't!) So I might get myself a new wearable as a Christmas present, but this post is not about the device itself, but more about the platform.
