Review: How to Connect to Apple Watch - This device does NOT PAIR with the GARMIN CONNECT APP. The Speed Sensor does, but the Cadence Sensor does not. Continue reading if you want to connect this device to your Apple Watch for Cycling workouts: To pair the Cadence sensor to your Apple Watch so it provides data when using the Workout app for Cycling, you have to pair the sensor directly to your Apple Watch (cannot pair from iPhone) From Apple Watch > Settings > Bluetooth > Health Devices (beneath “Devices”) It will show a loading wheel as it awaits a signal from the sensor to connect via bluetooth. Keep this screen open on your watch with the device mounted on the crank arm (as close to the pedal as possible) turn the crank arm until the sensor starts to blink green. It should automatically show up under “Health Devices” in your Apple Watch Bluetooth Settings; my device showed up as “CAD-BLE0000000” Once you pair the Sensor with your watch, it will always automatically connect when the devices are near each other or until the Sensor battery dies. Down side: Not knowing how much battery life you have. After pairing the device to my Apple Watch, I immediately started a Cycling workout on my watch, began pedaling and it began reporting a Cadence measurement. It worked seamlessly, reporting RPM data as I rode and showing it on my Workout screen. When the workout was completed, I was able to see stats for Cadence (RPM) in my workout summary. Some people suggest you download a 3rd party app to connect the sensor, but most of them require paid subscriptions. I currently use the Relive app along with the Apple Workout app to track my rides. I didn’t want to download another 3rd party app and I didn’t want to purchase an expensive Garmin Bike Computer. For the Garmin Cadence Sensor 2, the reviews are tricky and Google gives a mix of information. It took me 1.5hrs to find this information on how to connect the sensor to my Apple Watch so I’m leaving it here in hopes it will help others who rely on Apple devices to track their cycling. With that being said, I am VERY happy with my purchase. It's exactly what I wanted/needed - a cadence tracker as Apple Workout already provides a good deal of metrics that a bike computer does, besides Cadence and Power. It was inexpensive, easy to mount, and connecting it to my Apple Watch was quick and easy, once I found the link above.
Review: Easiest to install cadence sensor. Lightweight. - This is a review of the Garmin Bike Cadence 2 Sensor My previous cadence sensor was a royal pain in the butt to install. It required nylon ties to hold a magnet to the crank arm and then the pickup/transmitter sensor had to be attached to the chainstay and positioned just so for it to work. It was easy to bump and cause it to get out of position. I hated it. This Garmin Cadence 2 sensor does away with all of that BS. Now all you have to do is easily attach the sensor to the crank using one of the 3 differently sized rubber straps and pair it to your cycling computer. That's it. Couldn't be easier. The sensor is small and lightweight. It uses a common CR2032 battery which requires no tools to replace. Just use your finger to rotate the battery cover to the unlocked position and the cover pops off for easy battery replacement. My only gripe regarding the sensor performance with my Garmin Edge 500 is that there is about a 5-second delay. When I stop pedaling, it takes about 5 seconds for the cadence reading on my Edge 500 to show "0". Similarly, any abrupt change in my pedaling cadence won't be reflected in the Edge 500 for 5 seconds. It's not necessarily a big deal once you realize that there is a delay. I assume that the delay is necessary since the computer would need a few revolutions of the crank before it can compute the RPM. This is great. I can't believe how clunky the old cadence sensor was compared to this one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this work with a vioactive?**
A: This sensor DOES work with the Vivoactive 4S. Someone said it does not but they are incorrect -- both the cadence sensor and the separate speed sensor both pair with the Vivoactive 4S and will then display data directly within the bike activity widget -- but note that you'll have to make sure your data screen has a field added to show Cadence

**Q: I have the forerunner music and have the garmin app and trying to connect with my new garmin cadence sensor but that is not a device on the list ?**
A: Did you put the sensor on your crank arm and rotate it? It is activated by the rotation.

**Q: Garmin forrunner 305 watch compatible?**
A: Yes

**Q: Does anyone know if you are able to read your cadence in real time? i have the vivoactive 4s & so far can only see it when i complete an activity.**
A: The cadence sensor attached to the crank, not to the spokes of a wheel.  If you are using a Garmin Edge, it will read cadence in real time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fairing Garmin Cadence Sensor 2 to Garmin Forerunner 55
*by G***A on July 24, 2025*

It works very well. Fairing Cadence Sensor 2 with Garmin Forerunner 55. I enjoy riding my bike. I bought a Garmin Cadence Sensor 2 because I wanted to know my average cadence. However, I expected it to fair on my Forerunner 55 when I turned it by 2 revolutions as instructed in the manual for the Cadence Sensor 2, but it didn't. So I looked into the Forerunner 55 menu and found out how to fair the Sensor 2. Follow these steps to fair it: First, press the UP button on the Forenner 55 for 2 seconds. You will see 'Watch Face' on the screen. Then press the 'DOWN' button 6 times and 'Sensors & Acessories' will appear. Press the 'START STOP' button to select. Then select 'ADD NEW'. Then, turn the crank arm while it is attached to the crank arm of the bike as instructed in the manual. When you do this, it will appear on the Forerunner 55 screen and when you select it, the fairing is complete. Then, select bike as an activity on your Forerunner 55, select cadence as bike, and then ride your bike and your cadence will appear on the screen of your Forerunner 55.
