I've been using a first gen Elemnt for quite a few years. It mainly just works. There was a stage when occasionally it wouldn't pair with the app, usually restarting my phone cured it.
Mainly I don't bother to pair it if I'm riding from home, so perhaps that's a factor in why that isn't bothering me at present.

Not sure if Wahoo is still the darling of the gps world but while I originally loved it, I now hate it.
Owned a wahoo elemnt bolt for a few years now, first year it worked perfectly..
It has gradually got worse, it will randomly stop syncing with the app, either cant be found or is found but then the ride wont sync. This was rare but now is probably every other ride. You have to go through a combination of un-syncing and/or deleting the app and re-syncing. Once you have done this the elemnt reboots and updates software. This clears your recent history so you then have to plug it into your computer to copy the .fit file onto your desktop and manually upload to strava. You then have to re-sync any sensors, powermeters etc and set up your screens.
Given it gets factory reset basically every other day I'm not sure what else I can do.
