How do I choose a bike computer with the right level of integration with other fitness devices?

[Scalatore]

Living in a tech dystopia? Not quite. Open-source platforms may promise seamless integration, but manufacturers' focus on proprietary systems drives innovation. It's a love-hate relationship.

Demanding compatibility is futile; it's about prioritizing future-proof features. Adaptability is key. Brands like Hammerhead and Wahoo lean towards compatibility, but perfection is a myth.

As consumers, we can influence change by rewarding interoperability. The power lies in our wallets. Don't settle for less; invest in devices that break free from brand silos. #ridelife #interopmatters

The idea of demanding seamless integration sounds great until you realize it’s like asking cats and dogs to share a bed—good luck with that! If we’re investing premium bucks, shouldn’t we be getting devices that can at least send a friendly “hello” to each other? What specific features should we be hunting for to ensure our bike computers don’t just play nice but actually have a full-on compatibility party? Are there any horror stories out there about devices that promised the world but delivered a flat tire instead? Let’s dig into the nitty-gritty of what makes or breaks our tech relationships!
