Tymewear

TymeWear Vital Pro Review I’ve been using the TymeWear Vital Pro for a few months now, and my initial reaction is simple: I really like it. Performance and Accuracy I’ve completed a couple of step tests to establish my breathing and performance zones. The results closely match those from professional lab tests I’ve done in the past — a great validation of the device’s accuracy. Integration and Workflow At first, I paired the device with my iPhone to record breathing data while using other devices for power, cadence, and pace. It worked, but merging the FIT files afterward was tedious. Once I switched to recording everything through my Garmin 1050, life got much easier — all my metrics in one place. The data now syncs seamlessly to TrainingPeaks, Strava, TrainerRoad, Garmin Connect, WKO, and of course, the TymeWear app. With WKO, I can analyze the data myself, both for individual sessions and trends over time. My current routine is to run a step test monthly and then track how much time I spend in each breathing zone — either during workouts or afterward. The device comes with a breathing sensor and a heart rate monitor. I’m not a fan of the heart rate monitor, so I switched it out with one I prefer and the integration has been seamless. Support and Experience Tech support has been excellent. I’ve submitted several questions and consistently received thoughtful responses, usually within 24 hours. Overall, I’m very happy with this product. It delivers accurate, insightful data, integrates well with my training tools, and is backed by great support. Highly recommended.

I have found this device to be accurate, dependable, long, lasting, and helpful in my training. My only wish is that the product is able to capture your activity before a ramp test is performed. I’ve done multiple runs and could not figure out why the unit was not capturing my stats until I realized that I had to perform a running ramp test first before the unit was able to capture my stats going forward.

My background involves breathing and ventilation specifically with performance. This is a great idea, however there is still a lot of noise going on that this team didn’t seem to want to engage with me on, because they did not address. Breathing frequency is off a lot especially when running. And VE is def impacted as a result. I’ve tested against VO2 Master to get a clear understanding and unfortunately it’s just not as accurate as the claims so far. The other issue is that if you have any sort of lay development (I swim, surf, train in gym) you will struggle to get the strap adjusted appropriately. I’m sure in time adjustments will be made, and hopefully they can address concerns from customers as many of these companies fall into this same non-response issue.
