Small, handy, light and not expensive.

But now I want something new :) Since there was absolutely no idea what exactly you wanted, we chose the simplest of the inexpensive and good ones - Garmin Edge 200. Such a box arrived - it looks very nice, you can see the bike computer itself through the plastic. I gutted the packaging - in this small box - a large number of different bags and parts! Instructions, the computer itself, a charger with interchangeable plugs for different sockets. I immediately threw out the British version. The…

Pros
  • Price, compact, 2 mounts, excellent GPS signal, compatible with Strava
Cons
  • Did not find

Unreliable device with poorer customer support

TL; DR: I received a non-working unit and Garmin has asked me to wait two weeks for a new one to be shipped or pay an additional $240 deposit to receive it within a week. The incentives here are clear: I'll return Garmin through Revain and buy Wahoo. The Edge 530 that I received was unable to update firmware using Garmin Connect software and was unable to maintain a Bluetooth connection with my iPhone. . After spending almost an hour contacting Garmin support and troubleshooting, I was told I…

Pros
  • Sports & Handheld GPS
Cons
  • Shorter cable than other options

Know What You're Buying

The Edge 530 is a very good GPS bike computer. It does everything I expected it to do and it does it better than any of its predecessors. Reading other reviews it seems that there are buyers who do not understand what they are buying. This computer: 1) Consumer electronics device. This means it's not perfect and requires updates. 2) Fancy bike computer. There are no two ways! It's not the top of the Garmin line, but it's much more than a speedometer. I don't have any bad details, so I'll get to

Pros
  • GPS Finder and Accessories
Cons
  • There are Shortcomings

Amazing High Tech Features

This is my first bike computer and I love it. I'm a dedicated mountain biker and don't road bike or race, although I do enjoy improving my own cardio. But bike computers really didn't have anything I needed. The built-in integration with Trailforks appealed to me as I bike a lot and hate having to pull out my phone to navigate. Even without navigation, I immediately liked the data available, especially the ability to see my real-time heart rate stats. I really like the jump tracking and find it

  • Bike GPS Navigators
