Appreciate the insight. I don’t necessarily mind paying $200 for the Stryd if it works (and the general consensus is that it does). The ZwiftPod seems to be so inaccurate for some people that I probably wouldn’t even bother. For some people it works with about 98+% accuracy, and others suggest accuracy of only 80%.
I know Stryd used to make an indoor-only model (Stryd Live) for about $100 and an advanced model for $200 (Stryd Footpod), which worked both indoors and outdoors.
It seems like now they only make a single model called the “Stryd with Wind Detection” which is ~ $220.
