   I bought two, so now I have two extra, but my wife can use one and I have a backup. Got the sensors in one day. They were easy to set up and install. I used the Cyclemeter app on an iPhone 8 running the latest IOS, and linking them to Cyclemeter via Bluetooth was trivial. The the directions in the paper manual were fine, but the online directions in the video on Amazon were even better. Do not pair the sensors using Settings / Bluetooth. Use your app, Cyclemeter in my case. I liked my Wahoo sensors, but after two sets that lasted less than two years, I thought I would try these, even though I thought they were more expensive. Turns out they were less expensive. So far, I'm very pleased.

   I don't know that I can add much to the title above. They were a breeze to install and have worked flawlessly with my iPhone's app ever since. Since the iPhone connection is bluetooth, I can't speak to the Ant+ functionality, and since I've only used them as speed sensors I don't know how well they work for cadence.

   The first device I received won't wake up - perhaps the g-sensor was stuck. The exchanged item, quickly provided by Amazon, works great. I've only used it for cadence, so I can't speak to the speed function. Because it doesn't require a magnet, and the sensor is held onto the crank with a standard elastic loop, it's effortless to move between bikes and ideal for spin bikes.

   Got these so I could get on Zwift. They work but I had to hook them up to bluetooth instead of ANT+ as they would drop during my riding and didn't seem to be reporting correctly. I had to rotate the speed sensor 180 Degrees on my axle to get it to work correctly as well. The cadence sensor had to be mounted as close to the pedal as my crank would allow to report correctly as well. Other than those minor issues, I'm off and rolling.

   Due to quarantine, I needed something to measure distance and speed on my indoor trainer. I'm not a fanatic biker, but still wanted some sort of measure of progress. This Magene looked quite similar to versions from other manufacturers on Amazon, but at a much lower price. So far, so good! Mounting on the rear axle was a bit of a pain for my fat fingers, but after a few minutes I was able to get the o-rings into position. I probably should have cleaned the hub first. Using the larger o-ring, it doesn't feel terribly secure, but hasn't fallen off yet. Super easy to pair and use with the wahoo app. At first I didn't know how to calibrate for wheel diameter, but eventually found it. All good, and for $20 you can't go wrong.

   No complaints! I bought a pair of them. One is speed and the other is cadence. They work perfectly with my Wahoo Element Bolt. Installation is super easy! Wahoo recognizes them right away. I have done my first ride of 60 miles using them and no issues at all. Never lost signal and never disconnected! I am very happy! By the way, knowing the exactly cadence I want to keep during my rides have been very useful. Despite my Wahoo tells the speed, I think it is more precise if you use a speed sensor on your wheel because wahoo uses satellites which my not be available 100% of the time during the ride causing the average speed to be not that accurate. Speed sensors, on the other hand, are always available and the average speed will be more accurately calculated in the end. They are also half the price of the Wahoo brand ones and do the same exactly thing! Great savings!

   I had purchased this to use with a Lezyne Mega bike cpu. Unfortunately, the chainstays on my bike are very wide and the cadence sensor was literally a mm or 2 away from hitting it when mounted on the NDS crankarm. I was about to return it but since I recently got my wife a bike cpu that was ANT+/BT compatible, I figured I’d give it a try. The sensors connected without any problems to the CooSpo bike cpu via ANT+. I’d say these are a great, less expensive alternative to the Wahoo or Garmin sensors as long as they can fit your bike.

   No problem reaching my Garmin Vivoactive 4s when mounted on my rear wheel hub (bike on trainer for the winter). Doesn't fit nicely on the rear hub ("flat") area too short (old Campy 10-speed hub), but will move it to the front wheel for outdoors. Not specifically built for it but looks like you could get nylon ties to fasten it instead of using the rubber "o-ring" band supplied. Nice thing is that the exact same unit can be configured for Cadence also. Just ordered a second for that.

   The sensor is a typical design. It's easy to switch it between speed and cadence (I was using cadence) and easy to mount. I wanted it to work with my Kinetic Fit trainer/app using Bluetooth. The S3+ cadence unit linked fine, but only provided a cadence value every 2-6 seconds. I attached a pic of a CSV file provided by Kinetic fit app showing the inconsistency of the cadence value. When the S3+ provides a value it appears to be correct. However, when you get a lot of zero values any average cadence is of no value. The data needs to be provided continuously. My trainer has power, speed, and heart rate provided via Bluetooth and all are continuous. I sent an email to Magene customer service and they said I should contact my seller for a replacement. Before doing that I tried updating the S3+ firmware and even a fresh battery. Neither fixed the data issue. Next, I got a replacement unit which did the exact same thing. The only reason I gave the S3+ sensor 2 stars is that exchanging/returning the unit with amazon worked well.
