Just check it out in comparison to your normal ANT+ stick:Īs you can see, it’s tiny. And the best thing is that with being so small, I can leave it in my laptop 24×7. In fact, aside from a few tests in other computers – it hasn’t left my laptop since the package arrived.
That includes plane flights, to and from work, and all assortment of wanderings around town. Well ok, it left my laptop to take these photos:īut, you may be asking how is it that a Suunto branded stick works with Garmin watches? See, when it comes to ANT+ USB sticks, there are basically two flavors – ANT1 (USB1) and ANT2 (USB2). You can see the flavors on the back of virtually all sticks in tiny writing – “USB2 Wireless USB Stick”ĪNT1 had a limited number of channels (4), whereas the newer ANT2 stick has more channels (8). In common scenarios like downloading your data, it doesn’t really matter. But when it comes to applications that may leverage the USB stick for real-time data transfer – such as TrainerRoad – the extra channels become really important if you have multiple ANT+ accessories (like Speed, Cadence, Power Meters, Heart Rate, etc…). Or – if you’ve got multiplayer type applications taking advantage of it. Each channel is limited to one ANT+ accessory.
