Great when it works. But it rarely does. Problems include not syncing with online services (RWGPS, Strava), not syncing with companion app (weekly totals different, some rides not uploading), suddenly shutting off, and deleting recorded rides (shows as active but no summary of ride). Wahoo customer support is slow and ineffective. Frequent software updates suggest serious quality control issues.
Passes data through to Strava, picks up text and phone calls from your cel phone and picks up routes from Strava. Pretty much all I could ask for.
I bought this as a replacement because the Garmin Edge 820 I had kept freezing on me. So, I returned the Garmin and bought the Elemnt. I used it once so far on a group ride and it worked fine. Today, I built a ride using Strava and when I tried to upload it, I wasn't able to copy it to the device because I have to use RidewithGPS which I don't have an account with. Annoying! I am rethinking this purchase.
