Apparently there are people out there who run and swim as well as cycle, and to accommodat­e these peculiar folk Wahoo has created the Elemnt Rival.

This smartwatch can connect to a Wahoo Elemnt bike computer to show extra data including heart rate, calories burned and cumulative metrics if you’re doing a multisport event, and the watch will go into sleep mode while you’re riding. You can also use it to control Kickr equipment and log your indoor training on Strava, giving you the chance to have a complete set of interconne­cted Wahoo tech.

The Rival’s 30.4mm display sits under a rugged Gorilla Glass lens and ceramic bezel, and can show a whopping 64 colours to help maintain clarity under different lights. The data itself is customisab­le within the Elemnt app – which also lets others track your location – and it has zoom buttons to switch from one to six data fields. When used in triathlon mode it’s smart enough to know whether you’re swimming, running or riding, and will switch between activities automatica­lly.
