There have been reports that certain COROS watches can not record Stryd data while walking. This is not the case for all COROS watches.
Here is what happens in these rare cases:
When you walk with Coros and cadence is below 130 SPM, the watch will use wrist motion and GPS to determine pace, distance, power, and other metrics. This is because Stryd will currently go to stand-by when paired with Coros, and you are not running. The Coros development team is working to address this limitation.
When you walk with Coros and Stryd, the data may or may not transfer to PowerCenter.
If you plan to use COROS and Stryd for an upcoming long walk or Hike, we suggest that you do a short "test walk" with COROS and Stryd to ensure that you do not experience issues on your main activity.
If you do experience this COROS & Stryd issue, here is how you can use COROS for Run/Walk intervals:
Interval Workouts with Walking Recoveries
For workouts where you alternate between running intervals and walking recoveries, here is what to expect.
Stryd will switch into Run mode after approximately 60 seconds at a running cadence (>130 SPM). IT will stay in Run mode as long as this threshold is exceeded, and remain in Run mode for approximately four minutes after dropping below the 130 SPM threshold. This means that as long as the walking recovery is less than four minutes long (before returning to a running cadence), all power data to your COROS watch will come from Stryd.
