From Skeptical to Pleased
I just bought a Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt + Favero pedals and realized that there was no way to add heart rate to the mix, which I had previously tracked in Strava on my Apple Watch. I found this app, was skeptical, but decided to gave it a try. It was no easier or harder to pair to the Wahoo Bolt than were the pedals. I expected it to quickly empty my 2+ year old watch’s battery or the phone or both. But after a 26 mile ride it had only used 14% on the watch and I had good heart rate stats. I’ll need to make sure the watch and phone batteries are topped up before riding, but I was pleasantly surprised. I’ll probably buy a strap-on HR monitor in the future for 70+ mile rides, but for now this app delivers on its promises for $5/year. That’s pretty good value IMO.
