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

This is literally the worst piece of technology I have ever had the misfortune of owning. Constantly disconnecting, freezing up, resetting itself, etc,etc. I despise it and wish I could bring myself to smash it with a rock.

I really wanted to like the 830 as its my first bike computer. It seems like I need to power off the device and restart just to refresh the Strava segments...when I can get them to sync. The ambient temperature sensor seems to be 7-8C higher than actual temperature. Battery life is great though. Considering this device is 3 years old and Garmin still didnt fix some of the bugs through firmware updates is pretty bad.

After nearly killing my phone trying to use it as a bike computer with the Strava app, I researched dedicated GPS-capable bike computers, and narrowed it down to the Garmin 530 and this model. I opted for the 830 with the touch screen. Loads of features which Im still figuring out thanks to the 80 page owners manual, but setup was pretty simple and downloading routes from Strava or Ride With GPS is no problem.

Bluetooth connectivity issues to iPhone, dropped connections once you had them, auto start livetrack never worked, etc.

perfect

Battery life is quite impressive in a brand new device. I was a previous Garmin user and expected a smooth migration, but it was even easier than I’d hoped. Once paired with my phone and this my Connect account, everything including screen layouts were instantly transferred.

Great performance in a smaller size

Man I wanted to love this thing but it’s just not... there. Had a BOLT but Wahoo didn’t support “connected lights”. Had a nice set from Bontrager and wanted that functionality, so got this 830 for my birthday.

Garmin products are made with the highest quality. The 830 garmin is a perfect bike computer with all the required functions of any avid cyclist from Power readings, weather updates, contacts updates and comms to simple recording of GPS position, speed and HR.
