I have been using the Rival since release, as it integrates seemlessly into the ecosystem. Now, I am looking for a newer gadget and want to ask, if the watch line has been abandoned or a successor is in sight?

I’ve been waiting on the Rival as a replacement for my 3 year old Garmin 735xt, but the number of features just isn’t there, yet, to be a 24/7 fitness watch/wearable. I would really love for Wahoo to buckle up and add all the software features it needs to have be truly competitive. [Waiting GIF - W…

My list’o’stuff: Really useful to me: Resting HR HRV Support for notifications from any app Notification management (dismiss on watch dismisses on phone, and ability to execute actions on a notification) Nice to have: Widgets/views for sleep, HRV, resting HR Weather

The Wahoo Rival watch is well suited for triathlon classes. I believe that the most important thing for this watch is: contactless transitions from transit zones to competition stages. communication with the bike computer it is possible to record training on the watch (it is a pity that this is on…

Agree with your post. I’m not sure how the Rival can control music but is completely incapable of getting a Messenger Notification that even the cheapest Garmin watches display.

@Sententiya Agreed - there was a comment about it a few weeks ago so it is coming at some point.
