Fabulous app

I added this app so I can monitor my heart rate with my Nordictrack equipment. The blue tooth works great connecting to the elipitcal and bike. I had one hiccup with an iOS update, support got back to me immediately.

Übertragung des Puls an Wahoo Elemnt

Top Tool, um den Pulswert der Apple Watch auf einen Wahoo Elemnt zu übertragen. Funktioniert einwandfrei und zuverlässig. Top Anbieter.

Great when it works

I've had both the usb and pod for a few years, and while the usb is reliable, the pod being used with a Karoo bike computer became highly unreliable. It would often never connect even after restarting the app, restarting the bike computer, connect from my watch, connect from my
phone, reconnecting to the Karoo, or it would just come in and out of connection through the ride if it did connect initially. After reaching out to support, they said it might be too far from the head unit, which ignores the fact it worked reliably for a long time, and also curious they'd sell something potentially unable to hold a connection regardless of where it's stored on a bike. After so much troubleshooting, too many rides without heart rate data, and support unwilling to resolve it.. i'm done. I get there's a lot of complexity trying to get all these proprietary connections to play nice together, but at some point it's just not worth it if it doesn't work reliably.

Love it!

I went from a Garmin watch to an Apple Watch. I hated the Garmin but started sweating when I realized it was no easy feat to get my heart rate incorporated into my Garmin Edge cycling workouts. The Watch Link is great. I put a rubber band through the little handle on the POD and keep it attached to my Edge when in the house so I don’t misplace it. I toss it in my handlebar bag when riding. I just have to start a Watch Link workout on my watch and I’m good to go.

It's all about the app and customer support.

Out of the box, WATCH LINK worked orders of magnitude better than its competitor's product. The app was installed without a hitch and it made sense. The app worked and was easy to use and it woke the pod up and connected with it very well. All good.

Then, one day, it quit working. I had installed some stuff on my Garmin unit and thought, 'Well, maybe I busted it', so I reinstalled the app and re-paired the pod. Nope, still busted. A quick e-mail to WATCH LINK was answered within a couple of hours and informed me that they had issued an update that had a bug in it and that was what was causing the issue. They said they were working on the issue. If I recall correctly, the repaired code was issued before the day was out. It has worked flawlessly since then.

Is it perfect? No, but I think there may be some limitations related to either Bluetooth HR devices or to ANT+. What I want is for the app and pod to simply take the heartrate out of my Apple Watch and send it to my Garmin Explore, and I'll use the activity that is native to my Apple stuff (Outdoor Cycling). If I could do that then it would be perfect. That, apparently, is not possible, so the WATCH LINK activity needs to be running and you can't have both Apple activity and the WATCH LINK activity running at the same time. That kills the heartrate-sending stuff. With the competitor's product, that was a real problem because their app was, uh, a hideosity. In all candor, the WATCH LINK Outdoor Cycling activity is really quite good. I have no complaints about it. In fact, once I figured out that I had to use the WATCH LINK activity I went back and took a good look at both what you see when it is working and what it reports when you finish. I was satisfied!

I'm a happy camper with this product. It's good. Just get off your butt and get it.

Use to connect Apple Watch to Garmin Edge

Because I found few reviews for this product, I felt like taking a leap of faith ordering this but it works perfectly!
There is no perfect solution to connect an Apple Watch to Garmin (or other bike computers), some iPhone apps do the trick, but then the iPhone cannot connect as a phone to the Garmin…
With the WatchLink pod: problem solved. It’s reliable and allow to connect both watch and iPhone to Garmin edge for HRM and iPhone features (Garmin location sharing, music player controls…).

I don’t know why this thing isn’t for sell in every bike shops around! (I’m in Australia)

Best App for NordicTrack Rower & Treadmill

I have the RW900 Rower and Commercial 2450 Treadmill. This app and USB are the best solution if you’re looking for an easy, foolproof way to connect your iWatch to your equipment.

Not working on IOS 26

Unfortunately, the app on the Watch is no longer working after updating to iOS 26. It crashes right away. It would be greatly appreciated if you could fix this issue.

No Support

Attention! If you have a problem or the device doesn‘t work, you never get an answer to your inquiries. Sad for the money

Broadcasts Apple Watch heart rate to bike computer

This amazing app meets a real need for Apple Watch wearing cyclists. This app and the associated pod allow the Apple Watch to send heart rate data to a bike computer in real time. With this solution, I no longer have to wear a chest strap or a Garmin watch to read heart rate data on the Garmin Edge 530 bike computer. The Watch Link app also sends cycling activity to Apple Health so the activity shows up in your activity ring totals.

Reliably transmits Apple Watch heart rate

I can now use my Apple watch for both outdoor cycling, and indoor cycling with Zwift. This effortlessly connects my Apple Watch heart rate to my Garmin 840 bicycle computer for outdoor rides. I have done 50 mile rides and it barely dented the watch and phone battery capacity. It also makes connections to Zwift super easy, as the Zwift workaround is flaky. I could not be happier with this after trying some other similar products that were not consistent in their connections.

Love my Watch Link

I have been looking for an alternative to a chest strap for my Garmin cycling computer. Watch Link does the trick - I can simply use my Apple Watch as my heart sensor. It works great and is definitely more comfortable especially on longer rides.

Great app but missing a few audio prompts

Good but not perfect

I had a lot of connection problems with Apple Watch to iPhone HR apps to link heart rate data to my head unit. Watch Link Pod gives me a solid connection when I clip the pod to my bib strap near my chest. The pod doesn’t work as consistently when I put it in my jersey pocket though. I’ve only been using the Watch Link Pod for a week so no long term opinion yet.

1 Month Update: I’m very happy with the Watch Link Pod so far. I’ve done about a dozen rides now without noticing any disconnections or significant inaccuracy in tracking my heart rate. I often take a coffee break during my rides and leave my head unit (Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt V2) on and the Watch Link app running on my Apple Watch and the heart rate data resumes fine even if I’ve gone out of range of the head unit during the break. I don’t notice any significant battery drain on the Apple Watch when running the Watch Link app. I can’t review battery life or durability of the Watch Link Pod yet since I haven’t had it long enough.

리뷰를 남겨주셔서 감사합니다

Had issues… out of warranty, developer still said they would send a replacement.

I didn’t even ask for the pod replacement, just wanted to figure why the issues connecting. Waiting for the replacement.

Be sure to RTFM!

It worked like a charm with my ProForm treadmill as soon as I followed the directions for that specific treadmill, instead of trying to wing it. A widget for the Watch would be nice to have. Thanks.
