I'm keeping this discussion in the same newsgroup, and only that

Thanks.

I've seen Strava suggested as an alternative to the Fitbit app.  An
account is needed with Strava if you want to participate in their
communities, or get premium features.  The same was true for Fitbit if
you wanted the premium features.  However, looks like basic features are
free, and don't require an account, but I haven't tested Strava yet.
Even if their app installed and ran without a Strava account, but you
then added premium services that require an account, you're swapping
Strava for Google.

I have that app installed, and AFAIK it doesn't read anything from the watch. It is an app designed to share with friends or the world at large your sporting feats. Replace google fit with this? I don't see the advantage.
