I might be missing something. But assuming you’ve joined the smartphone age what is the point of WiFi on GPS watches? As I’m weighing the options of which watch to buy some have WiFi some do not.
I’ve measured (not accurately but does it matter in this case?) by counting and it is consistently about 20 seconds from the time I open my garmin connect app and my watch syncs. And that’s when I have to actively sync it. If I get way behind and have to syce like 12 workouts it takes a few minutes. Sometimes it just syncs by itself and it’s done before I’m even cooled down or caught my breath.
Is there a feature that WiFi offers normal BLE just does not? If it’s a matter of seconds have we gotten that impatient? Or is it a some people don’t have BLE deal?
I still lapped everyone on the couch!
