Fitbit ionic for me, 4-5 days battery life main reason. Didn’t want to be a slave to an iwatch lol
Not tried to use it as an activity tracker or linked to bike...yet.
Good results for day to day heart rate and fun results for “activities “ and seeing how busy my day has been.
Sticking with my Wahoo and a chest strap for proper exercise.

I use a wahoo heart rate monitor around my chest (cheap). Connects to everything with BT and ANT. Phone lives in my bag or on the bars depending on type of riding I'm doing to capture all of the data.

fitbit blaze - very happy with it. remarkably accurate when compared with polar h10 chest strap. fitbit app provides pretty good data and uploads to strava well. i like the sleep data too! got it on craigslist for 90$ a year and a half ago. ???

I guess none of these devices will pair w the mission control app. It seems the extra ant+ channel is for allowing a watch to have some of the app’s functionality

I bought a Suunto to avoid the chest strap but the heart rate function is marginal at best or occasionally I must be dead and not notice.

I think there's a garmin fenix app that does mission control stuff, there's a thread on here somewhere

I have a forerunner 245. It's great for tracking HR and for recording rides in strava and trailforks. It integrates well with levos. Wish it did the same for shimano steps motor

yeah, the fitbit doesn’t connect to bike. the polar syncs with BLEvo flawlessly though?
