Wahoo Elemnt Rival

From RUNNEA we are pleased to present the Wahoo Elemnt Rival watch, a multisport GPS watch that comes to make a niche within the wide existing catalog today. It may be an unknown brand for many of you, but the Nebraska company already has a great background in the design of bike computers, smart bikes or training rollers.

Wahoo has decided to make a firm bet on the heart rate monitor segment, focusing this Elemnt Rival on sports and multisport use, especially for triathletes who need a reliable watch to combine and record the activities of the three disciplines. Here are all the details of this new model, do not miss them!

Wahoo Elemnt Rival, main features

If this Wahoo heart rate monitor stands out for something, it is for its almost exclusive focus on triathlon, since the greatest number of features is based on this trinomial of sports disciplines. A watch that already at first glance is striking for its large display and its ability to display in any lighting conditions. Let's see what are the highlights of this Wahoo Elemnt Rival:

Contactless transition.

Using algorithms, the watch is able to detect when you change discipline, so you don't need to press a button to switch from one discipline to another.

Multisport transfer

Allows all training data to be shared with other bike computers without the need to press a button.

Pre-designed workouts

The heart rate monitor provides 12 pre-designed swimming, cycling and running workouts to train and progress in the sport.

Smart notifications

As a great novelty, the watch allows real-time location of those users of the model who are doing physical exercise, in addition to having more common functions such as notifying emails, text messages or calls.

Wahoo Elemnt Rival, a newcomer with room for improvement

Being the first heart rate monitor designed by the brand, we can say that this Wahoo Elemnt Rival is a model that stands out for its beautiful design and for presenting innovative features such as contactless transitions or real-time user location. The option of synchronization with other gadgets of the brand makes it, above all, a very interesting option for users of the brand.

However, from RUNNEA we miss some more advanced features such as daily activity and rest information that other direct competitors such as the Polar Vantage M2 or the Coros Pace 2 do have.
