Review: Must for injury free running - Best product a runner must have it has improved my running technic and help in reducing injury
Review: This does what it says it will do. It is extremely compact as I had imagined it to be bigger. Even if you don’t care much for such stats, I still recommend it because having technology serve you to gather stats during a time you are incapable of doing so yourself really adds value and worth to each run, and that motivates you to do it again. Connectivity is quick each time. I’ve ran in a freak rainstorm before and it worked just fine.

## Features

- Computes and sends 6 running dynamics metrics to your compatible Device
- Battery life: replaceable battery lasts up to 1 year (assuming 1 hour daily use)
- Automatically turns itself on and off
- Tiny size: at less than 5 ounces, you’ll forget it’s there

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with Zwift?**
A: It says it's supported on the Zwift website. It doesn't support bluetooth so you'll need an ANT+ receiver.

**Q: How is this different from Garmin foot pod?  Can it track distance for indoor run/walk like the foot pod does?**
A: I don't think it captures/ estimates distance, the watch will do that now without the need for a foot pod. This doesn't doesnt capture data if you're walking.

**Q: Will this improve distance accuracy on my treadmill runs?**
A: Unfortunately no. I bought this specifically for the treadmill since my Fenix 7 is grossly inaccurate for me on my treadmill (it isn’t the case for another family member with the same watch). Unfortunately even after changing the battery (the same day I unboxed it), it will often read 0.0 for speed, while at the same the cadence will have a reading that changes wildly (and inaccurately), and distance will remain unchanged for sometime .25 miles.

Very disappointed. If I’m outside, GPS does a good job, so for me, this is kind of worthless because so far I only need it on my treadmill. Thinking of going back to Polar. Never had this issue with them.

**Q: Does this require a garmin watch, or can i just use it with the garmin app on my iphone (and no other garmin device)?**
A: The dynamics pod syncs to several garmin watches (not all of them), but yes, you must use a garmin watch (https://runnerclick.com/garmin-running-dynamics-pod-review)
DC Rainmaker has an outstanding review of the item as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***O on 24 February 2021*

Lo utilizzo in abbinamento a un Forerunner 945. Inizio subito con il precisare che il Dynamic Pod NON è bluetooth, bensì ANT+. Può essere inoltre utilizzato in abbinamento solo con determinati modelli di sportwatch Garmin (il mio precedente Vivoactive 4 , ad esempio, non è tra gli sportwatch supportati) e non mi risulta sia compatibile con altri sportwatch di altri marchi. Detto questo, il sensore è incredibilmente piccolo e leggero. Va agganciato ai pantaloni/pantaloncini, avendo cura di posizionarlo quanto più possibile al centro del nostro corpo. è talmente leggero e piccolo che ci si dimentica subito di averlo indossato (tanto è che al termine dell'attività il mio Forerunner mi ricorda di togliere il Dynamic Poc). è impermeabile e con batteria sostituibile. Si attiva da solo quando rileva un movimento (la camminata) e va in stand-by sempre da solo. L'associazione al proprio Garmin è immediata e semplice: basta indossarlo, fare due passi e cercare il dispositivo nel menù Sensori del proprio orologio. Da lì in poi è tutto automatico e non è necessaria alcuna calibrazione, attivazione o disattivazione. I dati che raccoglie durante la corsa (attenzione, solo durante la corsa, NON durante una camminata), sono: Tempo di contatto con il suolo, bilanciamento destro/sinistro, oscillazione verticale (valore assoluto e in %), passo, lunghezza passo, e altre dinamiche di corsa. Sono tutte informazioni complementari ai valori rilevati di default dagli sportwatch Garmin, completamente integrati nelle statistiche di fine attività in Garmin Connect (ma non in Strava...), ma anche in tempo reale durante l'attività (basta impostare i relativi campi dati sul proprio orologio) e con un buon livello di lettura (i.e. colore verde se il dato rilevato è buono, arancione se al limite, rosso se fuori target). Le informazioni servono per chi, come me, è appassionato di dati e statistiche, ma anche utili per capire se ci si sta allenando bene e prevenire magari qualche infortunio. Al prezzo di 60€ (circa 10€ in meno rispetto al listino ufficiale Garmin) è secondo me un buon complemento per un runner anche alle prime esperienze ma che vuole avere informazioni quanto più dettagliate possibili delle proprie uscite.
