Apple Watch + workoutdoors + strava do they play nicely?

One of the things I miss from my Garmin watch is the garmin connect dashboard website where you can see all your stats.
Can I get something similar by using Strava with the workoutdoors app?
I don't really want to use the strava app on the watch to record activities.
Yeah I know it sounds stupid 🤔

Sort of. But I don't think Workoutdoors does such a good job. All the stats (that I would ever need) are there, but the presentation just felt wonky ... always felt like too much work to fathom the interface, whereas with the Garmin version it's easier to just see what you did and understand it.

I also had a bit of an issue with battery life when navigating with Workoutdoors on the watch - only really seemed to last a few hours before the watch started going weird and then going into battery save mode, so I reinstated my Edge 820.

Thanks @Dorest_Knob
There seems to be a bit of a gap in the market for a decent analytics interface. I suspect Apple don't make the APIs easily available ☹️

WorkOutDoors uploads direct to Strava.

Strava runs on my Apple Watch and uploads to either Apple Fitness / Health or Strava on the phone. Or both. Simultaneously. Automatically.
