Customers are dissatisfied with the speed of the cycling computer. They mention that it often has issues with speed, cadence, or both bobbling. They also say there is a measurable lag when using with Zwift. Additionally, some customers report that the speed reading would randomly stop working and they had to re-adjust. The product is also a little slow during the first pairing and syncs up quickly in subsequent use. However, some users report that at times the app simply stops recording any one of speed, camden, or distance.

I wold give this 6 stars if I could. After 3.5 years and at least 7000 miles, this sensor is still going. I’ve never had to replace a battery. I think it must recharge the battery as the magnets spin by the sensors. That’s the only way I can imagine it lasting so long. So I’m guessing aslong as you ride on a regular basis, it must stay charged.
I’ve used it with my polar bike computer, with a laptop computer (for Zwift using either a garmin ant adapter or the laptops Bluetooth), and now it’s connected to my garmin watch. All without any real problems
One year update: After more than 1 year, and 3500 miles, its still going. Haven't had to change the battery yet.
Review from when I first got it:
Works pretty well, but is sensitive to slight changes in the mounting alignment, and the cable ties included for mounting it don't keep it from rotating out of alignment. So a better way to mount it would be good.
Also,it didn't include any installation instructions. It is probably obvious to anyone who has seen these before, but I had to search YouTube to figure out how to install.
When you first install the sensor, you have to align the wheel magnet and crank magnet so they both pass within about 1/8" of the sensor. When you mount the first magnet and spin the wheel,you may see blue and red lights flash on the sensor. So it's natural to try and adjust both magnets to make the lights flash. FORGET THE LIGHTS! Apparently the lights turn off after a few seconds, so you can't use then to adjust the sensors. Just adjust the magnets as close as possible to the sensor, and connect to your device to see how it works. (I finally realized if the lights kept flashing, it would probably kill the battery really fast.)
My android phone was too old to install the wahoo app, so I installed the iPhone app on my iPad. It connected easily to verify the sensor was working.
I use this sensor with a polar M450, and the combination seems to work great. No connectivity issues.
There's some tiny LEDs on this that flash when the magnet goes by. It makes it easier to align this way. Problem is that the LEDs only light up for the first 60 seconds or so. After that they don't flash any more which I'm guessing is to save battery life. So don't be surprised if the LEDs stop working during installation. Wish there was some "Always Flash" mode for the LEDs when installing.
I hope the spoke magnet doesn't get bumped and rotate. If it does then it'll start banging into the arm every wheel revolution. Wish there was a better way to put the magnet on the spokes but there probably isn't.
Installing and setting up the thing is a 1-time thing. And installing it once is pretty easy. So far it's worked fine so there's nothing to complain about.
Would be nice if the Wahoo app told you when battery is getting low. Maybe it does... haven't used it long enough yet.
I was able to use the wheel magnet from another sensor, no problems. The magnet and wheel sensor do have to be fairly close to register, but no closer than with any other speed sensor I've used. The crank sensor worked just fine from the first crank.
I downloaded the Wahoo app and was able to get all the info on my phone no trouble. Then the reason I chose this particular sensor, I have TomTom watch which is compatible. Was able to pair with no trouble. I did have some trouble finding where to adjust the wheel size and share the workouts to MapMyFitness, but a couple of emails to the support team and my questions were answers quickly and cheerfully.
I am not sure why some of those who posted negative reviews had the issues they did. This worked just as advertised out of the box is affordable and customer service to date has been great.
Update:
Had this since May. The cadence sensor failed to work on my ride Saturday. Speed sensor continued to work fine. Thought it was the battery. Changed the battery, spun the pedals and lights lit up, cadence counted, etc. Went to ride on trainer this morning and no data. No speed, no cadence, nothing. Moved the cadence sensor to where it was just a hair away from the crank, still no data. Tried calling customer service today and had to leave a voice mail. Not happy. Emailed customer support, will see what they say. Very annoying since today is Wednesday and I have a race on Saturday. Will have to go to the trouble of installing my old computer that just calculates miles so I can at least see where I am during my ride on Saturday.
Another issue, the app stopped sharing with MapMyFitness. Emailed customer support, said there was a glitch, try shutting down phone, restarting and then try syncing. That fix worked as far as syncing goes.

Ließ sich super mit einem iPhone 5s und 11 Pro Max verbinden und arbeitet zuverlässig.
Montage ist sehr einfach.
Stopped working after 10 months. Dead and not responding at all. Expected to last more than a year for Wahoo products. Disappointed at the poor product reliability at such price higher than other sensors. No warranty even :(
