Bumping a slightly old thread.
What would be a better bargain for the budget-conscious, buying some BTLE/ANT+ sensors now and then later getting a dedicated computer that can display them, or buying a bundle?
I want to start tracking cadence and have it stored with my rides on Strava, so either sensor-to-phone or computer-to-phone connectivity is a must. Heart-rate would also be nice but I can wait on that. I don't need to see the readings in real-time, but would be fine with a computer if there was a good deal on a bundle now or just a compatible unit later. The compatibility is what worries me, if I buy just some sensors now, will it be more difficult or expensive to pair them with a computer later rather than buying things together that are known to work with each other?
