Sometimes less is more. Sometimes we don't need to have a smartphone attached to our bars telling us when to ride hard or when we need to fuel. There are critical pieces of information that are nice to know though like heart rate, speed, power, and maybe Strava segment time.

Crystal clear display; Lightweight; Long battery life; Ride description functionality; Live Strava segments

Lacking in power features; GPS in monochrome can be hard to follow; Expensive

Only used this a few times so far due to weather and injury but it is amazing, very easy to set up, connected to my HR monitor instantly. The Strava live segments are really good plus no touch screen. The Garmin connect app is excellent and automatically updates Strava.

I so, so wanted to love this little thing. I had a Garmin 500 for years and years. It worked rain, shine, cold, wet, hot. It would last 15 hours no problem. I loved that device so much and when it finally died I quickly went back to Garmin to get a replacement. What a mistake.

I don't need all the frills, like color display, maps, etc. The displays are very customizable - you'd be surprised how hard it is to find a device that shows HR, speed and distance on one display.

The Garmin Edge is compact but the display is clearly visible in shade and sunlight. The unit is intuitive to program, a good thing as the user manual is insufficient. The speed sensor, cadence monitor, and a Garmin HRM all paired quickly, although the the first two sensors required rotating the...

I know Garmin gets a lot of stick, but this is probably their best unit for the price. I've used it on multiple rides and have had no problems thus far. Garmin claims a battery life of up to 15 hours and that seems about ride (depending on what features you are using).

The Garmin Edge 130 breaks new ground by offering features such Strava Live Segments and Bluetooth and ANT+ sensor compatibility in a small, lightweight package that costs only £150.

Good value; Excellent screen; Compatible with ANT+ and Bluetooth sensors

Buttons can be fiddly; Basic navigation tools

Nice lightweight computer, pairs easily with my phone & uploads to Garmin connect easily after a ride. Plenty of features & display options, very happy with it.

Great little gps cycle computer, looks good on my bike. Bit miffed a week later after ordering this the price has gone down to ￡152 from ￡168 Any chance of a refund Amazon

In a lot of ways, I think the Edge 130 is the bike unit that consumers have probably been asking for, for quite some time. They might just not have known it. By going back to something the size of a cheap $20 Cateye unit found at a bike shop, it removes the intimidation factor for some people of a...
