Review on Renewed Garmin Edge 1000 Color Touchscreen ๐ŸŒˆ GPS: Enhanced Navigation at a Fraction of the Cost by Enrique Espinoza

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Died after two years of use

I really liked this computer until it died. Easy to read, all my sensors are connected and I used it as a Strava backup when I forgot to turn Strava on. The real-time telemetry for watts, heart rate, speed, average speed and distance was really nice since I bike 3 times a week and maybe 120-150 miles a week. However, after about 18 months, the underside of the touchscreen stopped working. I found a workaround by turning the screen off and turning it back on after 3 seconds and if I could hit the save button in time it would have saved the trip. Eventually it stopped working. I reset all settings to factory defaults. This didn't solve the problem. Then it started shutting down 3 seconds after startup. I literally followed the Garmin recovery procedures. This didn't work either. Now, two years later, I have an oddly shaped hockey puck waiting to be thrown away. Garmin will not fix it. They give you a "discount" for another unit.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Clarity

Nice odometer. Not a lot else.
