Flawless so far
I’m using this a little differently than most, broadcasting my Apple Watch to my major-brand bike computer during outdoor mountain bike rides. Have used it for about 10 hours total now and no dropouts. Bike computer picks it up as a heart rate sensor immediately and the watch app works better than any of the other “beatz” or cast heart rate apps. I just throw the Watch Link dongle in my pocket with my keys and don’t even notice it. It’s smaller than my car keys! Great work.

Perfect for Peloton and Apple Watch
Since I didn’t want to breakdown and buy the new Peloton + in order to have my watch have the metrics displayed on screen I found a solution and saved myself $2,400. This app is easy to start on your Apple Watch. I haven’t yet looked at any of the data of recorded workouts so I can’t speak to it. If you do run into any issues they have amazing customer service. My issue was resolved and I am very thankful for Ed, he was great to work with.

Great customer service
I had a problem where the watch app refused to start a workout. After reaching out to customer service, I eventually stumbled into fixing it by opening the app on the phone and playing with settings. Other than that hiccup, the app/pod has been more reliable than the heart rate monitor chest strap that came with my Peloton.
