Garmin Edge® 130 Plus, GPS Cycling/Bike Computer, Download Structure Workouts, ClimbPro Pacing Guidance and More (010-02385-00), Black

Starts up/acquires GPS quickly, super simple to operate and read while in motion on my MTB. I like the ride stats (it even counts and measures jumps) plus easy syncs to Strava. Great first bike computer for me.

Garmin Edge® 130 Plus. These are first impressions, as the item just arrived and after one ride: I followed the instructions provided to pair with my Garmin 245 Forerunner watch and NK heart monitor chest strap. No issues. Upon first inspection, this little powerhouse seemed a bit small, but in use, the display is clear, well thought out, and easy to read at a glance. Found GPS satellites quickly. Shows all the relevant data: heart rate, speed, distance traveled, and duration of the ride. The mount provided is intended for a bike stem, but my mountain bike, like many others, does not have a long enough stem for this type of mount. So I paired it with the Garmin 010-12563-02 Edge Mountain Bike Mount, which secures the little computer to the handlebar nicely. You can spend a lot more for a cycling computer, but this one hits the sweet spot for me, providing all the right data, at a fair price.

This is my first GPS cycling computer. The small size is perfect. Very secure mounted to my 35 mm handlebar. I'm using the handlebar mount that came in the package. No movement or rattling while riding single track. The display is very easy to read with different display settings available. When used with the Garmin Connect app you get lots of stats pertaining to the ride you just completed. Color graphs, a color coded map of what you just rode, not just the course but what you actually rode. It will show multiple laps , fast sections slow sections, climbs etc...The app is loaded with stuff for a multiple of activities from walking, running biking and so on. Anyways I'm really enjoying this. Finally I'm no longer guessing at how many miles I'm riding. The battery life seems to be ok. From fully charged I've gone on 4 rides about 7 hours and the battery charge is at 41%. This is also includes the use of a speed sensor. I got the speed sensor because I heard it adds accuracy to the speed and milage. I have not used the Garmin 130 plus without it. All in all I've always wanted a GPS cycling computer but they were so expensive . This unit and buying the speed sensor still wasn't cheep but I felt like it offers a lot of value for the price.

I recently purchased the Garmin 130 Plus to replace my five-year old Edge 25, and to me it is an improvement in just about every way: new features, larger and sharper screen, quicker satellite acquisition, better battery life, and more customizable interface. I'm very pleased, but if you are coming from a higher end Garmin unit, or another brand, your experience may be different. I would like to comment on a couple of the repeated criticisms of this model, because they nearly dissuaded me from my purchase. I don't have any axe to grind for Garmin, but I think misinformed or misleading negative reviews are a bane for consumers. Regarding battery life, Garmin has posted a chart on their website, showing the estimated impact of different settings and device pairings. (There should probably be a link to this chart in the product description here on Amazon.) The respected expert reviewer DC Rainmaker has attested that the estimates in the chart are generally accurate, and this has been my experience. I am on track to get 12 hours from my first charge, with standard GPS, no phone or sensor pairings, no backlighting, no alerts, etc. If you need all those features, and take long rides, you should probably look for a model with a larger battery, but it will also be larger in size. The point is, you can estimate the battery life in your use case before you purchase. Regarding the user interface, I wish fewer button pushes were required to do basic functions, like starting a ride. It is annoying to have to choose the ride type on each ride. But, the significance of this should not be exaggerated. On an iPhone, it takes four steps to delete a batch of emails that are already in the trash, which is just as annoying. And Apple is considered the paragon of interface design. If you can operate a cell phone, you can learn to use the 130 Plus. And if you ride often, using it will quickly become second nature. If you absolutely want to minimize the use of buttons, then you should look for a model with a touch interface, but that brings its own tradeoffs. So far, my Garmin 130 Plus has performed as advertised, and without issue.

It's small, so if you need glasses to read/see up close don't get this. However, I absolutely love it! It pairs with the phone ap quickly. Battery lasts about 7 to 8 hours, that's why I'm giving it a 4. It's very basic, but easy to use. You can import routes from Ride with GPS and Map My Ride.

Perfect screen size and functionality. Does what I need done and a lot more. I am surprised at how well it performs regardless of the extreme dirt road conditions I put the bike through. The data is easily downloaded for analysis. The satellite capture is reasonably quick, and the accuracy is quite impressive. Seems to handle rainy days rather well and I see no screen distortion during hot days so far. This was a recommendation from a friend, and I too recommend this product. It's big enough to read the screen with ease and small enough to blend with the bicycle. I have not done any riding at night so I can't offer an opinion of how well the screen background looks in the dark. Once the sun goes down, I make sure I am back from the trails in the woods because I don't want to run into the cocaine bear hiding in the bushes.

Excellent product and it tracks mileage and time perfectly.

simple but does a lot and gives a lot of information

Have been using Garmin Instinct watch for my rides, but what's lacking was that I am unable to view the watch face while riding. This makes it hard for me to check for navigation and other data fields such as cadence, speed, etc quickly. Setting up this computer is easy. Existing sensors paired with the Garmin Instinct watch are transferred to to the computer during the set up, which meant that I don't need go through the pairing dance again. My watch is now the heart rate monitor for my rides, and yes, it can be paired to the computer as well.

Mi Garmin EDGE 1000 dejo de funcionar, y decidí irme por este Garmin sobre todo por el precio, en principio y aunque leí las reseñas no contemple lo pequeño que es, sin embargo, es un muy buen producto de Garmin, tiene las funciones que tenía en el otro ciclocomputador, aunque extraño un poco la pantalla táctil, los botones de este modelo son bastante fáciles de usar. Si bien el modelo es pequeño se ve bastante bien y tiene suficiente contraste en la pantalla para leer las métricas, se pueden ordenar las pantallas de datos según se necesite y el número más grande se puede utilizar con la métrica que uno desee. Al principio no encontraba como mantenerlo prendido, ya que en la noche pues no tiene el contraste automático como el anterior, sin embargo, si tiene la función de retroalimentación y mantener encendido, la batería se descargó lo normal para una rodada en la noche de hora y media. En general lo recomiendo ampliamente en relación calidad-precio y que tiene todas las funcionalidades de los demás Garmin.

exatamente como prometido!! excelente!!

I've been using this product since release, and I'm satisfied with it. 2hrs cycling ride with GPS+Glonass w/out live tracking leaves me at around 77% battery. It connects to my wahoo sensors seamlessly and you can set it to automatically upload your ride to Strava through the app. Garmin Connect IQ also supports 3rd party, user-created metrics that you can download to the device, which is great. It supports heart rate monitors, speed, cadence, & power meters. It also has a nice breadcrumb trail with a map that shows you your preset routes that beeps when its time to turn. It has a handy page that shows your current climb and current strava segments to get the most efficiency out of your ride. All in all, its a great compact device for amateur riders.

Première expérience et mon mari est très heureux. Il planifié ces sorties et peut comparer ses performances. L'option appel d'urgence me rassure durant ses longues sorties également. Un très bon produit pour une première fois.
