EDGE 540,DEVICE ONLY

Why did you choose this product over others?: I believed it was the market leader and it was a best buy recommendation form a bike magazine. Shockingly badly designed software and so outdated.

Great first buke computer. Does all I need to do and then some. Easy to use with outstanding battery life. If it's on sale don't hesitate to grab it

Good Quality & Fast Delivery.

Received my Garmin Edge 540 and have done ~5 rides with it now. It is a 5 star product (from my limited use so far), but there are a few things to note... The Good: --------------- - You can configure the display screen to show the stats you care about. I have the max showing (10 stats), and find it is easily readable when you glance down. - It comes with the ability to mount in on your stem or in front. I prefer in front - I can do multiple rides with one charge, so you don't need to recharge after every ride (of course, depends how long you ride for - Seemed to be no issue on a rainy day when I was out, and on really sunny days. This is well made and no issues in the conditions I have rode in so far. (Note have not done any really 'dark' conditions yet) The Bad: --------------- - Remember to power it down completely after your side is done (and saved), so it conserves the battery. I did not the first time, and assumed when it went to power save mode/screen went blank, it would conserve power. Instead, when I was about to ride 2 days later, it was at zero power. Had to spend 15 minutes to get it to ~20%. So just make sure you power off when you are done. - When doing the "hill climbs" on it (where it prompts you that you are on a known climb), there seems to be a lag from when it realizes you are on the hill, and a lag when you are done. Nothing major, maybe ~5-10 seconds difference. But it is noticable. Other Notes: --------------- - If you connect to a Garmin Varia, the first time it will ask you to update the radar software. It takes about 8 minutes. While you can skip this and ride, I just recommend you plan for this and connect them ~10 minutes before you ride OVERALL --------------- I would recommend this for any cyclist who wants a computer on their bike. The few cons I have seen so far are minor vs how well it works in general. Note I have this connected to a Garmin Varia read radar/light, a speed sensor, a cadence sensor, and a heart rate chest strap (all by Garmin). All connected with no issue.

Todo super bien! Lo recomiendo

Aunque aun lo ando probando aún, como siempre, los dispositivos garmin cumplen con las expectativas, en este caso el 540 está en el umbral de la gama alta con todas las prestaciones del 840 salvo por no ser de pantalla táctil....
