Wahoo ELEMNT Ace (on Specialized E-Bikes)

Capacitive touchscreens don't work well in the rain. It's a limit of the technology and not Wahoo's fault. Resistive touchscreens don't work as well and you would be a lot more frustrated using one. They are not as sensitive because they work on pressure and they don't support multitouch for things like pinch to zoom.

What sort of screen technology does Garmin use? As I stated previously, the Garmin screens are not perfect in the rain, but at least my Garmin Edge 1030 did work.

LCD on the 1050, not sure about the 1030

I prefer that the touchscreen does not work in the rain to being activated by raindrops as it happens on a smartphone.
