Garmin Edge 830, Performance GPS Cycling/Bike Computer with Mapping, Dynamic Performance Monitoring and Popularity Routing

I've already have a Garmin watch, and was looking for practical Garmin computer to help with my new fitness regime. I decided to go for the Garmin 830, being that it was a Garmin, with good reviews in the mid price range. And I have to say, I'm very happy with it, being it's the perfect size, touch screen excellent with many great tools/readings that you can bespoke to display in a number of different layouts. It's was highly recommended and has lived up to my expectations. Once ordered, the delivery was smooth, quick and without drama. I would happily order again from this company.

I only use it for recording my bicycle tours for strava. The battery will last at least three days.

Nothing to say other than its great

Failed after 1st charge. Wouldn't power back on. Extremely disappointed

Edge 830 purchased Dec 2020 2 stars for reliability beyond warranty. Great hardware let down by dodgy software updates. Difficult to believe that it's not an unspoken strategy to keep folks buying the next model. Worked great until 4 months beyond the 2 year warranty when the touch screen started playing up. Finally after installing a 'GPS firmware update' yesterday, the touchscreen has become unusable. Only the buttons still work however those provide only limited functionality. I suspect that the button version, i.e. the 530, would probably still work OK. Having had a number of premium head units over the last decade from this manufacturer I reached the conclusion that the best strategy where this manufacturer is concerned is to: 1. Note the purchase date 2. Put a reminder in the phone calendar for a future date a month short of the warranty expiry date 3. Decline all updates while using it 4. Then before the warranty expires, flog it on a well known Internet based marketplace while it still works and while I can still get a decent price for it 5. Move onto their next model 6. Repeat Their customer support are famous for being waste of time even while the warranty is still valid so I wouldn't even bother trying now it's expired.

This device is so hard to connect to wifi or my phone. Makes it almost useless. Feels like a complete waste of money.

Gives me all I need Actual Speed Avg speed Distance travelled Duration Compass direction Battery life is good enough (>24 hrs). Display is sharp and the holder is robust & tight. Easy to use and syncs wt mobile phone. Reading of GPS takes 5 sec or more sometimes

Produto excelente, vc pode configurar várias telas com até 10 dados simultâneos e alternar entre elas, há ainda a possibilidade de se comprar um controle remoto da Garmin e alternar entre as telas sem ter que tirar as mãos do guidom, bastando apenas utilizar os botões do controle, apertando-os com os dedos, como se estivesse passando as marchas. Recomendo a todos. A única crítica foi que o produto veio sem nota fiscal. O que dificulta a revenda ou colocar num seguro.

Execelente producto para tus entrenamientos

Love this latest Edge version that is replacing my Edge 520. Quite the upgrade. Huge improvement in performance, the device is snappy. Lots of options to customize the screens and the touchscreen is very responsive. I have had zero issues since I bought this in July and have put roughly 1500km on it, including a 265km solo ride with navigation. Battery life is great and I have it integrated with the following sensors: HRM TRI, 2INpower DM, Speed Sensor 2, Di2 and Varia RTL510. The profile and looks is also nice. Would highly recommend this device.

I use this on my road bicycle every time I go out. I love that I can select which items I want on my main screen and which arrangement best suits my needs. I like time, temperature, speed, %grade, & trip distance traveled. Your smart phone enables safety features to notify your emergency contacts. There is also an alarm to alert you to someone tampering with your bike. The signals for drink reminders and for approaching traffic (if you have the optional radar component) are easily heard, and displays are easily read. I fell once, and the attachments were very secure. What I wish I could do is add 'undocumented' miles (at first, I'd forget to turn on the Garmin). I love being able to see the degree of rise in hills and also to know the temperature. I don't use any extra monitors, so cannot comment on their effectiveness. Mapping features have been little used by me. I know the maps are accurate, but have never ridden in an area where I needed them. This piece of equipment is TMI for some, but I really appreciate having the info, and there are a number of features I have not yet used. I highly recommend this Garmin!
