WATCH LINK Heart Rate App

Directions are not consistent in how to connect Apple Watch and Elemnt. Got it working first ride. Didn’t work second

I use this for outdoor road and MTB constantly. Battery lasts most of a year, app and firmware updates have solved any connectivity issues - it just works all the time every time! THANK YOU devs for keeping this product supported and ongoing. 💯

If you have the Apple Watch, this product is the best way to go when hooking up to your Garmin bike computer. You don’t have to wear an uncomfortable strap or buy an expensive Garman watch. Great product well worth the price.

I primarily use my Watch Link Pod while outdoor bike riding. I stared using the Watch Link Pod after purchasing my Wahoo Element V2 and realized Apple Watch doesn’t talk to Wahoo Element. I did my research and found my solution Watch Link Pod. The Watch Link Pod was easy to setup and pair with my iPhone, Apple Watch and Wahoo Element. It filled the missing link providing pulse data to Wahoo. I would also like to mention Customer Service is excellent.

Update 4/30/2023 Vendor has been responsive with emails and follow ups. The usb Watchlink finally connected to HYDROW for the first time today. It is beneficial. Hoping it continues to work. We’ll see. Apparently HYDROW updates can cause it to fail by not connecting. Upgrading rating for customer support and finally connecting. Old review follows DOES NOT WORK WITh HYDROW Rower $96 with Tax ripoff to buy the USB Hydrow package- vendor in CA does not accept returns- complete fraud - save your money. Vendor blames Hydrow’s latest updates.

Works as advertised without any hiccups. Currently using at F45 as my studio does not have the F45 hub that would allow me to use my watch without the pod. The watch app is very hard on the eyes. Would love to see the colors switched to be on a black background and to also change colors based on your current heart rate zone. Implement that and this would be the perfect app and accessory.

Was able to connect to my Apple Watch but am not able to connect to anything to make it work. Not Zwift, wahoo trainer, nor wahoo elemnt. I followed all the directions, uninstalled and reinstalled, but nothing works and couldn’t get any support. Complete waste of time and money. Unfortunately, can’t even return it now. Be warned…

Sometimes it pairs right up but the last few days it won’t. My Wi-Fi is on and I’m literally away. Very frustrating for what I paid for this.

I added the watch link to my Trek rail and after a few tech support interactions its working great. I am sure setup will go smoothly in the future. I would give it a confident five star rating but I haven’t figured out how to use it while I am using the Apple watch workout app at the same time. Seems like you can only use the native app, which is good, but would be nice if the native app could work in the background. Maybe its able to, but I haven’t figured it out yet. But if you want to use your Apple watch to display BPM on the Kiosk head unit, it will do it. Great solution and the best customer support.

It connects to my Hydrow maybe 25% of the time. When it did connect, it has displayed the heart rate on the screen a total of 2x! I emailed customer support 5 days ago and I still have not heard back from them. Very disappointing.
