Today Wahoo launched its very first GPS sport watch, after years of successfully becoming a leader in cycling computers. The new device, called the RIVAL, now offers all athletes to take Wahoo’s proven ELEMNT technology on or off the bike.
Unique to the RIVAL is a proprietary Touchless Transition technology, allows users to seamlessly transition from swim to ride to run without touching their watch. As a part of the Wahoo ecosystem, RIVAL’s Multisport Handover mode allows it to interact with ELEMNT GPS cycling computers to transition race data from the watch to a handlebar-mounted computer during any multi-sport activity.
RIVAL, $379, incorporates several first in class features including a ceramic bezel and an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the backlight. Other must-have features include a battery that lasts 14 days in watch mode or 24 hours in GPS mode, a barometric altimeter, an optical heart rate sensor, and live tracking.
Wahoo’s first entry into the watch category tracks all standard run, bike, and swim metrics. As expected, it can also pair with a Wahoo TICKRx heart rate monitor and includes a dedicated charger (shown above). Following workouts, data is available in the Wahoo companion app and can be automatically uploaded to third-party platforms like TrainingPeaks and Strava. RIVAL also connects with ANT+ and Bluetooth sensors and can control Wahoo KICKR smart trainers.
