Colour display and user interface
The Wahoo Elemnt Roam 3 has a brand new colour display. Unlike its predecessor, the Roam 3 features up to 16 million colours to display the map in greater detail, and the user interface has also been revamped. In addition, like the Wahoo Elemnt Ace, the Roam 3 has a touchscreen. So, it can be operated via the touchscreen as well as the handy buttons.
Revamped user interface
Wahoo has also updated the Roam's user interface. Thanks to the Ambient Light Sensor, the display automatically adjusts to the ambient light. The Quick View LEDs have been replaced by a handy dashboard at the top of the screen, which gives you extra information during your bike ride, and through the Companion App you can select what to use it for. While navigating, it can indicate when a turn is coming up, and if connected with a heart rate or power meter it can show your training zones. Via the renewed sensor dashboard, you can easily link extra sensors to the bike computer, such as a heart rate belt, power meter or turbo trainer.
Additional features
The ELEMNT Roam 3 bike computer has a speaker for additional handy features. For example, it can now provide spoken turn-by-turn instructions and a bell sound. In addition, the map has been given a makeover, where you can now see not only streets but also street names, points of interest and Strava or Summit segments on the map!
Battery life and dimensions
In addition to the touchscreen and revamped interface, the ELEMNT Roam 3 includes a number of changes. For example, the screen is now 2.8 inches and battery life has been increased to 25 hours. All these extra features have made the Roam 3 slightly heavier than its predecessor; it now weighs 108 grams.
Wahoo has duly considered how to work the settings of the device. By pairing the Roam 3 with your phone, you can customise all data fields through your phone. You can also use the app to turn alerts and sounds on or off. In addition, the Roam can be connected to various third-party applications via the Wahoo Companion App.
Turn-by-Turn navigation
Select a location on the map and the Roam 3 will easily navigate to a new location using Turn-by-Turn navigation. The computer will give you clear warnings when you need to turn. If you deviate from your planned route, the new Roam can easily get you back on track. If you want to shorten your chosen route, you can also easily navigate to one of your pre-set locations.
Turbo trainer
The Wahoo ELEMNT Roam 3 can be paired with Wahoo and Tacx turbo trainers if they have ANT+ FE-C. You can use four different programmes to control the trainer. With Route Simulation, it is possible to re-ride a previous route via GPX on the device. The turbo trainer automatically customises the resistance based on GPS coordinates.
WhatsApp notifications
In addition to SMS and phone messages, the ELEMNT Roam 3 also provides notifications from other apps. For example, during your bike ride you can get a pop-up upon receiving an email or WhatsApp text. Although this can be very convenient, sometimes you may prefer some peace and quiet as you cycle; you can then easily turn this off by activating the Do Not Disturb mode.
Live Tracking
Share your real-time location using the Live Tracking option. When you activate this, you can also see other Wahoo users on your bike navigation map. And you can easily share your location with friends or family through the Companion App.

It works well. I also enjoy the bell feature a lot.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Good upgrade!
Had several Wahoo's in recent years and they kept getting a bit better. Now a complete package with all the trimmings and another bit better. Still easy to use and clearly adjustable screens and navigation. Very flexible and comprehensive. New app to connect and set up takes some getting used to, but ultimately more complete than the old app. Furthermore, a pleasant colour screen with touchscreen, which may not add that much and sometimes seems redundant. In fact, button control also remains possible and suffices just fine, especially during a ride. Digital bell and over 50% battery life left after 8 hours of training are really great though. Previous screens were perhaps a little more readable in bright sunlight and the LEDs are a miss anyway. But yes, more time to enjoy the surroundings ☺️
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Nice improved GPS , installation is a thing though !!!
My wahoo Roam1 had failed, so bought the roam3. First impression nice shape , slightly narrower ( because the LEDs disappeared on the left) as the previous version. Installation: Did not install on the Elemnt app ( iphone). Then the Fintness app problem-free, and also takes over everything from the elemnt app. Only when I start the elemnt app error messages. Startup is fast and almost immediate gps signal. The LEDs of the roam1 are gone, no more LEDs at first, took some getting used to, but now definitely not a disadvantage. Brackets included as spare, roam3 fits nicely in the previous version's brackets. It also takes over the sensors from the old version. Touchscreen is a plus, and button operation is the same as the old version. Scrolling through the screens is fast, and nice and clear picture and display with the route map. Sound signal is clearer and adjustable. I have owned it for several wks now , and nothing but praise, the only NADEEL is not installing on the ELEMNT APP ( who has a solution for this?). Would I buy the Roam3 again next time , YES .

Would buy it again at any time
After years of satisfied use of the Elemnt Roam V1, I switched to V3 and appreciate the significant improvement: larger memory, larger display, faster processor, more precise GPS control

Compatibility problems with Garmin Varia
As I have the Wahoo Bolt V2 and wanted a better, larger display, I ordered this Roam V3. According to reports from specialist magazines, it was not possible to pair it with Garmin Varia Radar. Unfortunately, this was also confirmed in my case. Pairing worked, but there was no indication on the display. Therefore back.... too bad....
