I ordered a minoura live ride turbo mag trainer and the speed/ cadence sensor and after delivery realised it is ANT and not Blue tooth 4.0 thus not compatible with an iphone 5. Is there any product on the market that can link this or any ANT devices HR etc to an iPhone 5 or is my only option to buy a Wahoo key and get a lighting adaptor with will be a clunky set up.

Your advice would be appreciated. Also if you have a chance to look at the live ride app your thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards James

Strangely the version number is the same as before, so not sure if this is actually a new version of if it just corrected something. Either way, it works again for me.

On the positive side: The stroek recognition seems a lot better. I have done 72 laps, about half freestyle and half breaststroke, and it got every single one correct.

Note that this is real Mexican! Not tex-mex!

In order to pair you have to put the Garmin strap transmiter up against the Ambit so they are touching. Mine paired on the second attempt!

I used to track my run using Android Apps but now wanted to go for a proper GPS watch so that I don’t spoil my phone. My budget is around $200 and I will be using it in India. I will be using it primarily for running and occasionally for cycling.

Since 310XT was launched way back in 2009 will it be pulled from market in the near term?

I prefer to go for 310XT as I get some additional features compared to FR410/610.
