The has a base plate photo that quickly, easily and firmly attaches with the included O-rings use the appropriate size. Plus, you can set up to 3 display pages with different configurations and scan through them while riding. You can select data fields to display per screen. The font size and display segments automatically adjust to fit. Due to the relatively small screen size, I recommend showing no more than 5 data fields per screen — one large top-middle data field and 4 smaller ones just below.
I set up 3 display pages. The first is a general screen with speed, average speed, distance, time of day and heart rate. The third is a custom heart monitoring screen with current HR, percentage of max, and zone. Similarly, if you use a power meter you could set up a dedicated power page. The Edge has a rubberized perimeter that includes 4 raised buttons. The cookies is used to store the user consent for the cookies in the category "Necessary".

For the serious or competitive cyclist the Edge gives you a very lightweight and small platform to record your training or race data in the same form factor that old school bike computers have historically done for decades.
The key difference is now you get all the data that up until now have required much larger devices. The lower price point compared to other Edge and Forerunner units is also very attractive for anybody with a power meter.
There are some other options coming onto the market here shortly, but none of them have the same feature sets for this price point. For the triathlete the Edge gives you the capability to record and display your bike training and race data on a small form factor device.
Lastly, for the casual cyclist. Hopefully you found this review useful. Also, I took a lot of pictures over the course of writing this review — of them to be exact. And I know that a lot of folks like myself like to see different angles of the product used in different ways.
You can read more about the benefits of this partnership here. You can pickup the Edge through Clever Training using the link below. By doing so, you not only support the site and all the work I do here — but you also get to enjoy the significant partnership benefits that are just for DC Rainmaker readers. Additionally, you can also use Amazon to purchase the unit or accessories though, no discount on either from Amazon.
Or, anything else you pickup on Amazon helps support the site as well socks, laundry detergent, cowbells. And as you can see, I mix and match accessories based on compatibility — so if a compatible accessory is available at a lower price below, you can grab that instead. Thanks for reading!

Like it. I want to get the Neutral for my wife. Someone said the neutral is the old version they had problems with. Is the Neutral, purchased today, the same as the blue or red? Thanks for the feedback.
Identical version. Thank you for the amazing and in-depth review! I just started shopping for a new cycle computer after my current one got wet from my first triathlon. Hi, I have a garmin edge and sometimes when I have not downloaded between rides, the next days will be combined as one on the first date. Can there be a control on this. I have stopped and turned it off overnight and next day the distance starts where I left off yesterday. Also in the initial setup; settings,system,initial setup,?
Is this controlling the above problem. Yes you can control this. Whew, what a read! Thanks, and I must say you have the patience of a Saint! Great reviews. This may be a deciding factor on which one I buy. Yes, as Nick below noted, the first question the answer is yes. And for the second question, the answer is also yes — all three of those units support that. Hey Tom, Yes it will record as if an outdoor ride with the same metrics, aside from the obvious ones like elevation and mapping. Looking to upgrade my computer and want to include HRM and Cadence — I really like the size and functionality of the Any advice?
At this point, the V and Edge are in fairly different leagues. But even that sounds somewhat limited out of the gate. Thanks Ray! An Edge it is! Keep up the good work with the site!
Best regards from Brussels! My wife has been using her Edge with her new Power2max power meter for a few weeks now. She calibrates at the start of every ride and then sometimes a little later her power numbers are way off. After re-calibrating it seems fine. Thanks for all the amazing reviews!
Calibrating a power meter is normal for all power meters, and should generally be done pre-ride, and then about minutes in. I would like to order from Clevertraining the Edge and the viiiiva heart rate strap, also to support the website. I have been reading the the Garmin Edge forum about night mares from folks that have upgraded their firmware. I am currently on 2. To go from 2. Nope, go straight from 2.
If Garmin Connect is offering it, you can grab it that way. Just let it be. Go grab coffee, a movie, whatever. Unfortunately not through your clever training link, taxes would really add up and it was cheaper to order in a local store. If you would ever have a European counterpart, I would be happy to order there.
No need for Bluetooth Smart then. Just wanted to thank you for the advice, and keep up the good work with the site. The Edge arrived, hooray! I would like to be able to configure: a specific heart zone in combination with keeping a certain cadence. Thanks for all you do…. You should only have one port, one end that goes into the Edge , and one that goes into your USB port on your computer. Hello, Can anyone confirm if autopause function works well with endomondo website? I had some problems couple years back with this functionality using other devices.
Hi, I have a an edge , a couple of my mates have edge I seem to get many problems with GPS accuracy whereas they do not. Are there known problems for the ? As an example of the problems that I see- I can be riding in wooded areas or on the road when commuting and notice that I am reading around kph, yesterday I was on my MTB and noticed this and stopped riding and it just sat there at around 40 kph for about 2 minutes before settling down.
Any advice appreciated. First, definitely update the firmware. By doing a reset you basically just tell it to go re-find all its satellites again.
Should I update fimwaere from 3. I see that the new changes related to the power meter but I do not use it. My edge is currently working flawlessly. Thanks in advance. I have the edge and just added the power tap. I am having issues with ave speed. I did a 40 mile ride and had ave speed of 14 and moving ave speed of Prior to having the power tap the ave and moving ave speed were very close.
I also can not see moving ave speed until I upload data to garmin connect or strava. Is there anything that I can do to get ave speed to be more accurate? Just spoke to Garmin.
They said I should turn on auto power. According to your notes above. I also contacted power tap. Auto pause, or auto-power off? My last ride of 40 miles included stops at intersections, and one bathroom break.
For the most we were moving. I like to keep pedaling. I have also read that firmware ver 3. Never had it auto switch. Move the bike rotate the pedals and rear tire before turning on the Edge head unit. There may have to be a sync in between, on maybe the two bikes need to be separated by some distance as I did have some trouble switching immediately between them.
Duration distance Just checked and all three show the same ftp. Also is there a way to have Moving speed display on my garmin. Hi Ray. Great website. Do you think or know? I prefer the size of the Edge than a which has this feature. If this feature was added to a new model Edge , will old models still have the capacity to do this through an update? Ditto for Bluetooth antenna.
The is stuck as a wired-only device. One of the best resources over the internet. Do you think that also now is right thing to have? It should change over to decimal miles 0. At least mine does. Hi Ray,based on your comprehensive review I got the Edge about 2 years ago and it is great bit of kit. But otherwise the biggest challenge is lack of pace values. I read that if you upload a course from a previous activity, VP will act as if you race against that previous activity.
Pace of the partner will vary like what happened during the previous activity. But if you upload a course from Garmin connect, you choose a pace and VP will keep that same pace during all the activity. Me again! I went to an track with my XT and ran 2kms. I saved the activity and reload it through course menu on my xt. If VP acted as a average pace, it should show a timing of 5 to 10 seconds ahead or behind. Instead of that, it showed me 30sec ahead after m, after 1km and after m and 24secs after 2kms I ran faster than excepted link to connect.
Did you manage to work out if the Edge just use average pace in the Virtual partner or can you load some sort of a previously ridden GPS segment as a route in your and race against the varying pace for example slower uphill, faster downhill rather than just an average speed? I am stuck between buy the or the , but I am leaning towards the Can I follow a course breadcrumbs only, I know and a structured workout at the same time, with the ?
Can you please help me telling me the price for it? You can use the product comparison tool located here to compare the Edge and the Edge link to dcrainmaker. If he cycles a lot, then go with the Edge , if not, then the Edge is probably a better bet. Dear Ray, first of all my congratulations for your detailed and professional reviews. Thanks to them I decided to buy my Edge two months ago and enjoy it a lot so far. However I have always had a problem when trying to delete in my garmin a particular race.
It always remains in it. So, from time to time, I delete all my historial races and the particular ones in my garmin connect. I found that solution and that was not a problem for me. But last night, I tried to sync my race with my garmin express as usual.
Everything seemed to work fine, but when I went onto my garmin connect account the race was not there. I thought it could be a problem of the website, and I tried to sync again after a day… but my race is not there. Some days ago I browsed my garmin drive, particularly some files. By the way I did not modify any system file at all.
I did it from Finder in OS X. I say this in case it could help you. I hope it could be solved easily.
Looking forward to hearing from you. My deepest congratulations again Francisco Alba. Hi Francisco. Nobody is able to upload workouts. What does the take into account when calculating calories burned? Does it take into account heart rate and elevation changes? Anyone know? Ask and you shall receive: link to dcrainmaker. Ray, Thanks for the in depth reviews of and ! Reading your review was as close to getting hands on a device, but without really.
I availed myself the discount as well. Will keep coming back to this page and more. As the is an older model, do you foresee support for it being discontinued in the near future? Thanks for all your reviews.
I just ordered the Edge even if it is old and used the Clever Training site. Hopefully you get your commission. Ray, I order the Edge after having some issues with my FX2 on a bike ride it reset by itself after resume activity and start like swim activity… All the elevation data lost. And for the great price on clever training! I decide becarse of your review and you winter device recommendation. That is the exact setup I have. The battery of the edge supports till 17 hours after which I need to charge… I have a hubdynamo and USB power output available.
So, that ways, it is fine. One vital aspect of the Garmin Edge is the Garmin Express software. This is available for both Mac and Windows as is the method by which you download software updates for the computer and upload your activities to Garmin Connect, and then onwards to Training Peaks, Strava, or wherever else you choose to send them.
Navigation aside, the Garmin Edge offers everything you would want from a GPS cycle computer, and is a great upgrade if you're coming from a non-GPS computer and want a bit more data from your rides as well as being able to upload to Strava..
