Awesome quality from a reliable brand

I bought this to replace my previous Edge 530 after it bit the dust (literally), and have been pleasantly enjoying the quality of this upgrade! The features are intuitive enough to adapt from the previous model, while the new features are a joy to use! I've been pleasantly surprised by how easy the touch screen is to use, even while wearing gloves, in the rain, etc. It's a little pricey, but I'd still recommend this over any other cycling computer out there!

Excellent computer, big advance over Edge 530

Garmin has made a great advance over the Edge 530. The touchscreen plus still able to use the buttons is fantastic. With the touchscreen they have solved many of the user interface challenges of previous Edge products in configurability and usability. So many new features and capabilities. Excellent battery life in normal use configurations. I highly recommend this product over what I see in the competitors offerings. Way to go Garmin !

This is the best Garmin Edge I've owned. It loads and pairs quickly. The ClimbPro update is awesome. The USB- C port makes it easier to charge. The new interface makes the data more accessible. It is a much improved training tool. Beginners will enjoy the ease of operation. Experts will benefit from the many training options and connectivity with third party programs. It has become an essential tool for becoming a better cyclist.

Garmin continues to add features to its computers with each iteration. I've already used for a dozen rides. The battery life is excellent, the touch screen is responsive and the interface is the best yet. I really like the new climb feature. The setup was really easy with the ability to transfer from my 530 my profiles and sensors. I would highly recommend this computer!

Bon produit. Les informations sont claires et visibles. Cependant, la connexion avec le cellulaire peu prendre quelques moments. Je recommande !

Great cycling computer overall!

This computer was an upgrade from my edge 130, and it hasn't disappointed! Map feature works great and it connects to satellite as well as my devices without a hitch. Super fast to load and be ready to go. My only niggle with the device is that the gradient feature has too much lag. It doesn't impact my ride, but I tend to enjoy the data as it comes but it's clear that the slopes are delayed in a meaningful way. Certainly not a reason not to buy it, but don't expect real time slope data. Other than that the hill climb data has been fun, it picks up hill's immediately all around me, with more time I think this feature can be pretty useful! I was torn between this and the wahoo, I'm not disappointed with the Garmin, touch screen makes it super easy to use (definitely spring for the 840, would be tough with just buttons) it gives me tons of data and let's me set up separate displays for all my bikes. Easy to use and a fun asset! Would definitely buy again.

If you are a cyclist, and ride alone or are ever looking to change up your routes, this bike computer is for you. The maps are incredibly helpful and the data is great for improving your rides.
I recommend this over the 500 series as it comes with a touch screen making navigation easier. I also love how it pairs with my Di2 shifting so I can control the computer from the hoods of my handlebars. You can also share routes with friends and track so much with it.
The only possible downside would be the screen is certainly smaller than the 1000 series computers. The battery life is great but if you are someone who goes on longer rides, multiple times a week or are in to bike-packing I may recommend going with a solar option.
