Ok guys, that’s all for this video. Thank you for staying till the end. In conclusion, there are 3 things I like,
1st Shanren Mile able to customized data to be display. No. 2, waterproof HRM for swimming, best for triathlon/Ironman event.
No. 3 small in size sensors & easy to change battery. 3 things that I don’t like are, 1st price is quite expensive comparing with others.
No. 2 is it is not easy to understand the page layout, you need to memorize it.
No. 3 is the integration for smart tail light seems like a gimmick only because not able to change the light color via Miles.
