Review on ๐Ÿšด Garmin Vector 3S: Pedal-Based Power Meter for Accurate Performance Tracking by John Bourgeois

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A little online reading - best performance on a bike

I'm a 4x 70.3 finisher, average working dad who trains about 10 hours a week. It's time to change the old 1st generation Ultegra out of intolerance to do outdoor workouts (Zwift is enough. After reading many reviews I was worried about the battery cover and the bad connection with the pedals. It's a leap of faith and about 2 months old now. Holy shit! So much data! Well I only have my iPhone 8 plus and my Garmin fenix 5x plus. When I got it - immediately annoyed that it wouldn't connect to my Garmin app wanted to connect. So yes, you'll have to read a few times and try to connect it, eventually it will happen (download latest version, restart phone, new batteries, clear other bluetooth connections, etc.) It will directly with Connected to your watch and as soon as it works you will be amazed by the feel and accuracy of this counter Take extra care when opening the lid and use your hands to the last th step with the Allen key. In short, if you are not into it If you suffer a little at the beginning, sort the connection, it is worth entering the data, especially with a double (which also appeared after a few training sessions)

Pros
