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.

Battery life is great. Did a 6 day bikepacking trip and only needed to charge it twice. However solar does need direct sun exposure so its not as useful as I thought.
I really like the big screen for navigation and lots of data fields.
One negative was that if the the route is long the ProClimb screens are extremely slow. I had to disable that feature unfortunately.

Excellent device by all means, minor/ish charging problem.

The device has excellent battery life, hundreds of data available to list up to 10x on one screen. For actual use it is fast and reliable, no Bluetooth issues so far! However the charging port initially didn't seem to be charging the device. Solar charging is way cool and it calculates added time while riding in the sunlight/also at rest. Connects all my rides upon stopping straight to Strava and aggregates all my metrics on the garmin app üëçüèº
