## Keep the device you have

Stronge doesn’t need a new account with your device’s brand. If its app writes its workouts to
your device, Stronge reads them there. That covers Garmin, Apple Watch, Coros, Polar, Suunto and
Oura, and Strava as a source.

Each device has its own connect guide in the app, with a troubleshooter for the usual reason
workouts don’t show: that app isn’t writing its workouts to your device yet.

## What it reads

- **Workouts.** Type, duration, distance, climb, an effort ratio.
- **Not routes.** Location is not in the read set. Stronge sees a run, not where you ran it.
- **Not your heart-rate trace.** Only a dimensionless effort ratio syncs. The trace stays on
  your phone.

Missed one? A run or ride your device didn’t catch can be typed in by hand and counts the same.
Two sources for one run are counted once.
