      After an injury my right leg is not as strong as my left and I want to monitor my running balance. The posiibilities I found:

      • Buy a Garmin (seems to be the solution to a lot of topics…)
      • Buy a Coros plus Pod
      • Buy a Wahoo Rival plus Tickr X (!!!)
      • Buy Sensorun Sensors ( only available in Germany)
      • If I want to use Suunto: Buy Stryd Duo

      The Suunto way is the most expensive with 340€ plus 120€ membership. I can get a Garmin 745 plus RD Pod for 300€ or a Wahoo Rival plus TickrX for 180€.

      Do I really need to leave Suunto to get GCT Balance?

        @VoiGAS If I am not mistaken Garmin HR Pro syncs with the app and provides these without watch. But you still need connect app.
        The Running Dynamics is the only thing I miss too from the Garmin ecosystem, but I have stryd duo so all is fine.
        Instead of getting older Garmin and pod you can get newer that has these metrics without external sensor. Example FR 265. Not sure about the 165.

          @EzioAuditore Thank you, yes I think it should work with the HRM Pro and the app - but only after the training, not live. I would like the posiibility to react to the values e.g. on a treadmill.
          I guess with the TickerX and Wahoo App it should work live, but I’m not sure…
          For metrics from the Wrist: Isn’t GCT Balance missing here, because it needs a central position on the body? I guess thats the reason why Stryd needs two pods

            @EzioAuditore Do you have GCT Balance live, when running with the Suunto Plus App? I found no Screenshot with the L/R Balance data field

                @EzioAuditore Such a pity. Looks like Garmin or Coros then - the Wahoo TickrX seems to be sold out in europe 😕

                  @VoiGAS The TICKR X is no longer sold as far as I’m aware. Just the TRACKR HR and TICKR FIT, both of which have no such functionality.
