Saw the watch was on sale and it was just what I needed, a daily watch, a good HR monitor for riding and easily paired with my Wahoo bike computer. But 4 days of wearing it and 1 of the 5 buttons just fell off. Could not get it back in. Had to send back and just so disappointed in Wahoo with this watch.

This is the cheapest watch you can get that has full support for running and cycling. It can connect to all sensors including pods, cadence, power, speed, etc. It's not the most accurate watch but in general it is close enough. The battery life is awesome, you can customize all of the sports profiles. I find the HRM to be fairly accurate if I'm not moving very much, like on a walk. Anything more intense and I just use my chest monitor as the watch seems to go all over the place.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Ideas, Could have Better Execution - Ultimately Returned It
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2022
Style: Stealth GreyVerified Purchase
I am a Wahooligan by joyous admission. I have several Wahoo products and enjoy them all, but the Rival just doesn't measure up to the quality of their other offerings.

Tl;dr, the lack of quality made me return the watch.

I'm not fussed with the lack of software features of the Rival as though I have measured sleep and HRV for recovery for a few years, I rarely act on the advice given to me from my wearables. I find the featureset on the Rival adequate and believe that it should be plenty for the majority of users. My only issues are with the quality of the product as compared to competing brands as well as the ELMNT bike computers which in and of themselves are top notch products in terms of hardware and software.

The primary issues I have with the Rival in its current state are as follows: light-bleed from the screen feels cheap; plastic buttons that make differing clicking noises at times when pressed is not confidence-inspiring; inconsistencies of the plastic resin casing; and the earth-shaking vibration motor (even on low) is wrist-numbing.

Outside of the complaints there are some great hardware features such as adaptive backscreen (ambient sensor), being able to choose just phone calls for notifications (software), battery life + the other highlighted features.

For $330 USD its easier to pay for than the previous asking price of $380 USD, but I feel there are still too many other higher-quality options on the market as of now. Hoping Wahoo makes a more compelling product in the future, because once they do then I'm buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great all round watch with fantastic battery life for runners and riders.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 24, 2023
Style: Stealth GreyVerified Purchase
I have had Garmin and Apple Watches over the years but this watch whilst not as technical or offering the mass of apps does exactly what you need. It’s chunkier than i expected which makes it look and feel good on the wrist. It’s attractive display is clear and bright allowing me as a glasses we are easy viewing day or night. The winning point for me is the battery life, where some of its competitors struggle to make it through the day this watch lasts for well over a week in non GPS mode. I use it for walks several times a week and it just keeps going. Would highly recommend this for people who need a multi sport watch without being tied to the electrical grid every day.

Das ist eine richtig tolle Sportuhr. Ich habe noch den passenden Bolt V2 Radcomputer dazu. Die Uhr sendet zuverlässig die Pulsdaten, ich benötige keinen zusätzlichen Brustgurt. Zudem sind unzählige Sportprofile drauf.

Sie tragisch sehr angenehm, man bemerkt sie fast nicht am Handgelenk.

Das Zusammenspiel zwischen Uhr und App ist super umgesetzt. Ich hab alle Einstellungen der Uhr ganz bequem am Handy machen. Einfach genial.
