I see it in finiteness devices. It allows you to integrate things like heart rate monitors and cadence sensors on bicycles or running shoes with watches and smartphones.
Once a device has ANT+, it is the logical tool for data transfer as well, so devices like Garmin watches come with an ANT+ USB dongle to integrate with your computer.
- jrockway 15y agoBut to be fair, ANT+ data transfer is super fucking flaky. I would say that I get my running data off my Forerunner about 50% of the time when the watch is physically touching the USB dongle and 0% of the time when it's not. And, nothing ANT+ seems to work under Linux. So let's skip this for a while and stick to Bluetooth or USB; it works better and works everywhere. You have to plug in your watch to charge it anyway.
