Only a week ago I got the Garmin 530. Best thing about it is the Strava live segments and it automatically scyns with Strava after the ride. Paid €200. Pretty good value for money.

@ronmel Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your videos. I really enjoy them. I’ve been rocking the edge 530 for over 2 years now. I can attest to the fact that their warranty is top notch. I had a bad crash about 4 months back where part of the mount on the 530 broke. They replaced the unit with one that was revised with a beefier mount at no cost to me and not even shipping costs. BTW, I also use the auto stop/start feature on the Garmin.

@@LoveMTB their reasoning was they now incorporate some metal inside the plastic mount thus making it beefier.

I got into gravel riding recently and I have used the same I used to carry on my road bike, my garmin watch for performance information and my phone with Komoot for maps and routes. I just bought the iGS630 because on gravel the rides take much longer and I was running out of battery. It has some other stuff I can use like climbs info, and connects to all the performance sensors I have.

I have been looking at some of these cycling computers for MTB. I just want Trail Forks functionality on a cycle computer. I don't really think I'll use the other stuff. I don't care too much for the TomTom looking GPS's and the reviews don't event really say how accurate the trail maps are.

After my second Garmin Edge 520 died unexpectedly I decided to try something different - the Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt instead of the Garmin 530. Boy! I'm glad I did. kzfaq.infoUgkxXZCtB-wGdHVTBSz8RswePK5vllHNi06N The display on the Wahoo Bolt is much easier to read. I like the configuration of the display more (up to 7 items visible on page 1 without scrolling and the first item chosen is larger characters than the next 3 rows that have pairs of items (still very readable). I also like the configurable item selections. The Bolt synced with my Garmin ANT+ Speed sensors on both bikes easily so no additional investment was required there. While the rated battery life is a couple hours less than the Garmin 520/530, I easily get a weeks worth of 1+ hour rides before recharging (and it's never really low on charge). At the end of a ride syncing to the Wahoo app, Strava, and Apple Health app is painless.

When I had a Garmin, it consistently under reported distance than actual know distances. I know others that have had the same results sometimes by as much as 15%. Therefore they are a no go IMHO. Tried another competitor to Garmin, that while better with distance, easily lost connection, and still under reported distance, but still better than Garmin.

Can't really believe I'm telling this, but I actually don't like this review. For me it seams more like an advertisement. there is no direct comperison of functionality. Garmin is good not because of gps coverage or ant+. garmin is about software. And this comperison is nothing without functionality comperison. Does it measure air time? Does it have climb graphs on display so you can plan you effort all the way through an uphill? and threre are much more questions. I think there are a lot of "similar" gears on the market. But in reality it's only Wahoo, Garmin and "others"
