Power meters that work with Fenix 5

Former Member over 7 years ago

As I'm not getting anywhere with Garmin or stages and the fact I want a left right power meter going forward I want a new power meter.
I am thinking of the new Vector 3 when they come out later this month . The vector 3 is ?150 more expensive than the assioma but at least if there is a connectivity problem it's all Garmin and they can't blame anyone else.
Could those people who have a left right power meter that works with the fenix 5 tell me in the comments below.
Many thanks in advance,
Si

Favero BePro - increased the Signal Power in the favero utility. no more dropouts. thinking about going back to v800 as OHR and GPS are just not useful on this watch.

The favero assioma is the v2 of the bepro, so you'd like to think if you v1 works v2 would also. Thanks krueger_ol

As you would expect, my F5 works great with my Vector 2. Agree that the OHR doesn't work very well, but no problems with the GPS that matches my Edge 520 perfectly. The altimeter isn't as good as the 920 or 520, but more than good enough.

Gave up waiting for a resolution to the Stages/f5 issue (I think I was the first person to report it) so I changed to a 4iiii Precision PM and have had no problem whatsoever with that, not a single drop-out.

It may be good idea to ask Favero guys. They have really great customer attitude. Just ask them to be sure, whether the Assioma has also the Max signal feature. I can confirm that it works flawlessly with BePro and F5 Sapphire

I have Powertap P1s (leftsided) and and that one works. Means that also P1 (doublesided version) should work since same transmitter and the right pedal is only sending data to the left pedal that merge left/right power and sends it up. This is for ANT+. For bluetooth it is different since each pedal sends power individually to bike-computer/F5 but I havn't checked how reliable the transmission is there.

I got a 4iiii and it is working fine for me.

Having the same issues with my stages power meter and about to find out how much I can get on ebay for it. I have a Quarq D-Zero and it works flawlessly with my Garmin 500 and Fenix 5. Great product and support team.
