"This little device was easy to connect to my Garmin watch, and seemed to work brilliantly. It produced loads of interesting data points and graphsI'd read that it gives a Running Power measure (I hoped a bit like a budget Stryd meter) - but either this feature isn't available from this pod, or it's just not available on my watch (Forerunner 245).However I didn't find any of the data particularly helpful, or useable to change my running or improve. Might just be me being to stupid to use it, but that's my feeling after using it."

Discontinued, but this is the best. I have used this with my Fenix 6x, 7x and Epix Pro. It's a great alternative to the HRM straps which I don't like wearing. The ONLY thing the HRM gives you over this is "breathing rate" which is a questionable metric anyway. The clip keeps them on all shorts. I only lost this once when they slipped off of some new slippery shorts I was wearing with a belt and shirt tucked in. My shirt got caught on it when I pulled it up and the pod fell out onto the ground. So I used my GPS track on my watch and looked to see when the cadence went to 0, walked to that spot and the pod was right there. Unfortunately, there's no other direct way of finding these as they don't have GPS built in. Other than that, these are perfect. I think Garmin discontinued this to send people to the HRM straps or to just use the built in Running Dynamics that are built into the watches. But you get more accuracy with this pod as it's located on your hip. On a treadmill for example, if you look at your watch, the cadence measurement slows or stops. With the RD Pod, you don't have to worry about that. So easy to use. Love it. Great quality. Durable. Accurate. Hooks up to the watch immediately. And the watch reminds you to remove it from your shorts or pants when the run is over. So nice.franck v

Très pratique pour le relevé des metrics de course à pied.Se fixe très facilement au dos du short ou du legging, avec son clips. Penser à le retirer une fois la course à pied terminé.Couplage avec la montre très simple.La pile fournie dure un an, ensuite il faut la changer. Un message apparaît sur la montre indiquant que la batterie est faible.hesseff

tout est dans le titre ! du Garmin avec du Garmin, aucun soucis de connexion. Pile 3 mois.Je pense que les stat d'horizontalité et de verticalité ne peuvent pas etre précises, elles sont donc inutiles. Je pense qu'il remplace avantageusement le podometre de la montre.What Customers Talk About
