Hello! I've read all the related info on this forum regarding these issues but haven't found definitive answers. I'd be grateful for some help.
- I strap my fenix 5 to the handlebars of my buggy when I go running so that I can see all the juicy data but the accelerometer obviously no longer picks up my steps in this scenario. I bought an RD pod to solve the problem but I've since learned that the watch wont use the RD pod to count steps so my daily tally always ends up much lower that it should be. Is there a solution? I don't want to put the watch in my pocket because I need to see the data.
- Will having the watch on the handlebars affect the power measurements? I had read somewhere that the watch uses data from both the RD pod and the accelerometer in the watch its self to make the power calculation.
It goes without saying that having the watch on my wrist whilst I'm running with the buggy is equivalent to strapping it to the handlebars in terms of data feedback. I've tested it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
