What if you donât want it to calibrate rpe? Maybe you have some other method (like an app on your phone) but would like the option of running without a head unit in competition? Maybe you just want it for tracking training stress? Maybe itâs a situation where you wouldnât be looking at data in real time anyway and donât need a head unit during the event (crit, cross race).
Just because you wouldnât ever use that feature doesnât mean it has no value. I have no use for lap swimming features on a Garmin, but that doesnât mean that others donât have a use for it.
Whatâs the downside of having the ability for the PM itself to gather data, other than being a feature you donât see a use for? Seems like it would, at a minimum, provide a failsafe in case your head unit wonât pair with the PM or loses connection in T1 somehow (how often have we seen someone report that issue on here?)
