Review on πŸ“± Garmin Remote Edge by Justin Olson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

One or two smart iterations of size

This little remote control won't live up to your expectations. Modern cycle computers have so many functions that of course they have several main screens that you want to switch between. If you can do that by simply pressing the button with your thumb and keeping your hands on the wheel, that's a big deal. This makes the entire computer more valuable. I also see the benefit this will give to touchscreen bike computers. If I can turn pages with thick gloves and perform a few keystrokes with the remote control, then a touchscreen isn't a problem. Now it's killing me that my other bike computers don't have these features. The absurdity is that, as useful as this concept is, the arrangement of three buttons in the shape of a triangle and only one semi-programmable is annoying. At least I should be able to assign two Page Up / Page Down buttons. Yes, it supports "short press/long press" for turning pages, but it's a terrible substitute, especially when I want to flip through multiple pages quickly. It would be even better if I could give each page its own button and have a few other features. Overall, this remote is really useful, but it could be a lot better.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Everything doesn't fit
