Comment Comment by Lio > Long ago I wrote about ANT+, for example, a failed personal area network standard designed mostly around fitness applications.I didn’t know ANT+ was “failed”, I use it all the time with my Garmin products. It’s cheap and it works better than Bluetooth.I have ANT+ cadence and heart rate sensors. Lights, camera, Varia radar and power meter.Some of that can be done with Bluetooth but realistically not all at the same time.Anyone that’s run a smart trainer in a group with others will know that ANT+ is generally more reliable than Bluetooth too.Apple refuse to support ANT+ so I need a dongle for my Mac and it’s the reason I don’t have an Apple Watch. No biggie. parent Lio 11 months ago
