What customers say about "Key Specs"
Garmin Edge 820 GPS Cycling/Bike Computer for Performance and Racing
- I have really loved the extra features on this computer plus the small size.
- The 820 is almost perfect size, the navigation is great and the screen is clear and easy to see in the bright sunlight.
- GPS easier to use than cell phone which can have gaps in coverage.
- My impressions about 820 after some rides: Acquires GPS signal very fast. The touchscreen works flawlessly. Very easy to configure and operate
- Its difficult to use the touchscreen while riding, software still needs some work when used with utilities of a strava premium account such as beacon and call and text display.
Garmin Edge 1000-1 Color Touchscreen GPS
- Device does everything thing that you expect from a Garmin with a great display, speed and intuitive navigation.
- The best large GPS bike computer. User interface is due for an update but this computer still cannot be beat. Easy to pair with accessories like power meter, phone, etc.
- The additional support for Bluetooth connectivity to your cellphone, built-in Wi-Fi and LiveTrack makes this everything you need.
- Superb, that thing detects everything possible, great device.
- I can't get an accurate heart rate, the screen freezes too often and I missed the return date by a day.

What customers say about "Display"
Garmin Edge 820 GPS Cycling/Bike Computer for Performance and Racing
- Great display readability day and night.
- I also like the size of the device and the screen.
- My sweat also seems to trigger touches on the display - randomly going into settings menus and changing things.
- Slow reaction in displaying new course direction after a turn.
- It works fine but the screen size is just too small.
Garmin Edge 1000-1 Color Touchscreen GPS
- Coupled with the brilliant display and large screen size, the outer design characteristics of the Edge 1000 is far superior to other models.
- The display was easy to see, it alerts you when turns are coming up and counts down the distance to the turn.
- If you're using it to display data it's great. The high resolution improves the display more than I expected from the 800/810 series.
- At first glance at the Edge 1000, its screen size is quite impressive!
- The screen is very easy to see and read in midday sun and the screen size makes it easy to put a lot of data up or less with huge fonts.

What customers say about "Features"
Garmin Edge 820 GPS Cycling/Bike Computer for Performance and Racing
- Varia radar, bluetooth, wi-fi and incident detection. They all seem to work well.
- Integration with the Varia radar is, actually, pretty cool and useful.
- It's small and a good-looking unit.
- The Varia Radar taillight is the best reason to own this expensive computer.
- I COULD NOT get this thing to connect to the included sensors or bluetooth on my Samsung Galaxy S8+.
Garmin Edge 1000-1 Color Touchscreen GPS
- The additional features such as the route mapping allows you to create routes based on your pre-determined distance. This is helpful when you are riding in an area you are not familiar with.
- This is an amazing instrument for a cyclist. I have entered several courses into it, and it guides me exactly where I need to go.
- Another great feature that Garmin has added to the Edge 1000 is the fact that the unit comes pre-loaded with detailed street maps and can plan routes on the fly.
- The stupid Virtual Partner can't be turned off, and as a result, it spends much more battery.
- Still have lots of Bluetooth dropout issues with my edge and smartphone.

What customers say about "Battery"
Garmin Edge 820 GPS Cycling/Bike Computer for Performance and Racing
- Battery life is good to good-plus, but not great, and, of course, depends a lot on the features you have activated.
- Battery-wise, on a recent 75 mile ride, the Explore 1000, with navigation, remote and bluetooth on, but wi-fi and Varia off, I would have gotten about a total of 12 hours
- The best feature is the battery save. I rode in a 175 mile ride for about 11.5 hours in battery save mode. When I finished, still had a bit over 50% battery left.
- After round about 7hrs of Screen On Time the 820's battery is drained.
- Works when battery is charged but it’s only been less than 6 mos. and it seems I’m not getting the full life of the battery. Only 4 hours into a ride and battery is in RED.
Garmin Edge 1000-1 Color Touchscreen GPS
- The battery life is shorter than the 800 but still plenty for a very, very long day of riding.
- Battery life didn't seem like it would hardly ever be an issue.
- Battery doesn't last an all day ride. Very disappointing.
- I like everything about this device except for the poor battery life.
- Unfortunately, the battery life is terrible. I only get 6-7 hours before the unit dies.
