@Roady did your wahoo fail ? if so after how long? Had mine go after like 9 months! been replaced but bit annoying as was hoping after the comments on here it'd last a while, although I can't fault the warranty process.
Still going strong since 30/12/2016 mate (paid £190 for it!). It's had a few quirks, but nothing the last couple of years. Maybe once or twice I've had an unexpected 'power off'. It did get very slow at one point - after kiddo (4.5 years ago) which I thought was the number of activities on it so cleared it, but not 'recently'. I think at one point I blamed maps and 'un-starred' a bunch of them from Strava so it sync less, but it's still got a lot on there from RWGPS so not sure. Maybe it was firmware/software and updates fixed it. It still see's an update every few weeks and happily installs it. I seem to think I've 'seen' it crash more when following a route - which isn't something I've done a huge amount of the last few years.
Zones are definitely off. I've only just started using Garmin setup over the last 5 rides, so I'm still getting the hang of things. Right now my zones are auto set up based on a prev max of 187 which puts Zone 5 at 163. I think Zone 4 is probably more realistic.
Will the system automatically update based a true max effort?
In another life, I was an elite lifter and I have a resting heart rate of 38.
P.s. Mesh nets are cardinal sin
Haha I know the mesh 'string vests' are certainly not a fashion statement!
Some systems will auto-calculate your Zones based on a max HR value, but we're all quite a bit different on what our 'zones' actually are and should be set as. But I'd say start there. You can get really complicated testing to precisely calculate your exact zones, but for most of us training in these 'zones' will largely adapt us to them anyway, so we get the benefits and settle into the 'right' zone. Plenty of others here who can describe it better than I ever could!
