Solar helps!

Excellent device for biking. I'm a week into a tour of Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island. The solar charging adds hours of charge. No need for any other charging yet.which is good since we are camping along the way without power.
The hills here are killer and the climbing function showing grade and distance in the climb is great.

Works great 9/10 times

Have used both beta and public release software and on both I've had some situations where it will not connect and upload rides to my phone. When working it is excellent - would recommend with a quickness. The not uploading is a pain that requires resetting and repairing to the phone (iPhone on latest software). Solar is great, adds lots of time on long rides. Screen is great. ClimbPro is wonderful. Sensors connect quickly. I love the Powerguide feature to keep me in check versus my fitness!

Powerful and fast computer. Solar charging is a bonus. Long battery life allows me to ride for weeks at a time between charges.

Better than competitor’s top product

I like this more than the main competitor’s top product. It’s easier to use and the battery lasts longer. That being said the battery life is not as good as I was hoping.

Been limping along with an old 520 for years. Finally took the plunge and got a new computer. This thing tells me in more than 5 data fields that I’m pretty ok at bikes! Plus I can actually see the screen at night!

Pretty much flagship Garmin. Instructions could be simplified and better. Otherwise perfect Cylcling computer
