What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Battery claims are mode-specific: the listing states up to 26 hours in demanding use cases and up to 32 hours in battery saver mode. The separate 26-hour specification does not describe a single mode. Adaptive coaching and course power targets have different compatible-sensor requirements, so confirm the equipment needed for the features you intend to use.
