So after ten years or so of pretty hard use, the original speed/cadence sensor that came with my very first Garmin 510 finally gave up the ghost. I bought this one as a replacement. Mounting was a snap. Nothing align; just fasten an elastic band around the hub. It paired effortlessly with my Garmin 1030, and transmits data instantly and accurately. Really, it couldn't be any easier. Didn't need the cadence sensor anymore because I run a Stages power meter that includes a cadence sensor. Good price, fast shipping, easy installation, and flawless operation, even on the crappiest, wettest, coldest winter days. What's not to like?
I don't see anything not to like about this light. It's built like a tank. The mount is strong. It's rechargeable and it has a red read out on top that shows you how much charge time that is left in the light. It also has a memory on it that lets say that you are only using the high/medium beams. It remembers that and lights up those 2 settings. I can see me getting a lot of quality use out of this light. Use it mainly for night gravel riding.
Bought this light because the reviews online were solid, and importantly, it seamlessly mounts on the same Garmin Out Front mount (included in Varia box) that my Garmin 1030 bike computer does. The light performs exactly as it is advertised with multiple modes to accommodate both low light and daylight conditions. I mostly ride a high end road bike in daylight conditions on suburban roads, so the bright, flashing daylight mode is perfect to grab the attention of boneheaded motorists approaching me. Have only had the light for less than a month and roughly 15 hours of outdoor riding, but it has yet to need recharging, and is still throwing out intense light on the daylight flashing mode. The only issue that I have had with the the light is that it does not seem to pair with my Garmin 1030 as expected. Not a big deal, because I really only wanted the daylight flasher and Garmin Out Front mount option anyway.
I was looking for a watch that would track everything from miles run or biked, to stress level, and elevation gained, and this watch had it all. I especially love the GPS tracking feature. It always drains my phone battery to use that feature, and the garmin watch does it effortlessly and accurately! I was initially concerned about its size and just being overwhelmed by all that it offered, but was pleasantly surprised. The band is comfortable. The watch head is bigger than I'm used to, but fits on my wrist nicely. And its super easy to use for what I need. Overall I am so pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend the product.
