So many features
on September 18, 2024
Posted by: RobQ27
This is a great unit. The appealing feature for me was the Solar charging capability. It has so, so many features that, although good to have, is a little overwhelming to get yourself accustomed to it. Initially you have to spend a bit of time turning off and configuring it the way you like it. But the unit works great and the Solar charging is a huge plus.

Broke the screen on my 540, so I upgraded. Much prefer the touch screen for using the computer in ride.

Great battery and touchscreen

Was nervous about the touchscreen for wet conditions but it works great. Battery lasts way longer than I'll ever ride in one go. Still figuring out all the cool features. If anything that's the hardest part.

It has all the functions while still being light enough. Plus, the solar feature adds so much more battery life.

Started great, doesn’t consistently connect….
on June 19, 2024
Posted by: Tri-ed it
Have had it for about a month. It regularly doesn’t connect to watch, di2, powermeter if left in sleep mode after saving a ride. But that’s the default for the power button. It’s annoying to have to fully turn it off and on each time when I commute daily and the battery should last at least a week in sleep mode.
Could not find a fix on forums, Reddit or online.
