Zwift android bluetooth speed/cadence sensor

monkimark

I saw the Android Zwift app on the play store earlier and seeing as I have an old (non-smart) trainer in the garage, thought i might give it a go.

After a bit of faffing, I have learnt that I can't use my existing ant+ speed/cadence sensor with the app so I need a bluetooth sensor - can anyone recommend a cheap, functional sensor to give it a go? I'm using the app on a Samsung S9 if that makes any difference.

I've no interest in any kind of structured training and as long as it keeps me entertained on evenings when I can't get out to ride, I'm not really interested in how realistic the power estimates are. I just want the basics to try it out really.

Thanks

haven't used them myself but these seem a decent price for the pair:

you can probably get cheaper from china/ebay but risky!

I did see that but a few reviews suggested it doesn't work very well with phone apps. The same was true some others I saw so wondered if anyone had used one with the Zwift app.

I guess I could just buy the decathlon one and return it if it doesn't work - there's bound to be a shop somewhere near my commuting route.
