From a very quick test riding for a couple of mins in my flip-flops I can already see that the reported wheel speeds are going to differ by quite some margin in certain situations, especially when descending at high speed. But they look close when riding steady on the flat.

From my quick test on the Yahoo app, it reported 210 W @ 85 rpm and torque 23.5 Nm, which is consistent with the power and cadence. Wheel speed was reported at 30 kph on the flat, which seems slow.
30kph in the real world at 210W seems maybe a little low but not too far off, 10% at most? Depends on aero profile of course. Can’t remember if the Wahoo app lets you define your height etc.
