## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with Zwift?**
A: It says it's supported on the Zwift website. It doesn't support bluetooth so you'll need an ANT+ receiver.

**Q: How is this different from Garmin foot pod?  Can it track distance for indoor run/walk like the foot pod does?**
A: I don't think it captures/ estimates distance, the watch will do that now without the need for a foot pod. This doesn't doesnt capture data if you're walking.

**Q: Will this improve distance accuracy on my treadmill runs?**
A: Unfortunately no. I bought this specifically for the treadmill since my Fenix 7 is grossly inaccurate for me on my treadmill (it isn’t the case for another family member with the same watch). Unfortunately even after changing the battery (the same day I unboxed it), it will often read 0.0 for speed, while at the same the cadence will have a reading that changes wildly (and inaccurately), and distance will remain unchanged for sometime .25 miles.

Very disappointed. If I’m outside, GPS does a good job, so for me, this is kind of worthless because so far I only need it on my treadmill. Thinking of going back to Polar. Never had this issue with them.

**Q: Does this require a garmin watch, or can i just use it with the garmin app on my iphone (and no other garmin device)?**
A: The dynamics pod syncs to several garmin watches (not all of them), but yes, you must use a garmin watch (https://runnerclick.com/garmin-running-dynamics-pod-review)
DC Rainmaker has an outstanding review of the item as well.
