Garmin Edge® 130 Plus, GPS Cycling/Bike Computer, Download Structure Workouts, ClimbPro Pacing Guidance and More (010-02385-00), Black

I wanted something small, light, and easy to use. This was it. Price was more than I wanted, but I thought it would be quality, and I'm not disappointed. For info, I use a phone mount and my cell phone in addition to this, but only for gps and music. This provides me a display of the functions I want to see during my ride. HR, Speed, etc. Battery life is great. Easy to read. Buttons only, no touch screen but that's fine for me.

Garmin Edge® 130 Plus. These are first impressions, as the item just arrived and after one ride: I followed the instructions provided to pair with my Garmin 245 Forerunner watch and NK heart monitor chest strap. No issues. Upon first inspection, this little powerhouse seemed a bit small, but in use, the display is clear, well thought out, and easy to read at a glance. Found GPS satellites quickly. Shows all the relevant data: heart rate, speed, distance traveled, and duration of the ride. The mount provided is intended for a bike stem, but my mountain bike, like many others, does not have a long enough stem for this type of mount. So I paired it with the Garmin 010-12563-02 Edge Mountain Bike Mount, which secures the little computer to the handlebar nicely. You can spend a lot more for a cycling computer, but this one hits the sweet spot for me, providing all the right data, at a fair price.

Perfect little computer for uploading routes and measuring speed/climb/distance. This only provides relatively basic data compared to some of the more advanced Garmins, but it was just what I needed for my first IronMan training.

I recently purchased the Garmin 130 Plus to replace my five-year old Edge 25, and to me it is an improvement in just about every way: new features, larger and sharper screen, quicker satellite acquisition, better battery life, and more customizable interface. I'm very pleased, but if you are coming from a higher end Garmin unit, or another brand, your experience may be different. I would like to comment on a couple of the repeated criticisms of this model, because they nearly dissuaded me from my purchase. I don't have any axe to grind for Garmin, but I think misinformed or misleading negative reviews are a bane for consumers. Regarding battery life, Garmin has posted a chart on their website, showing the estimated impact of different settings and device pairings. (There should probably be a link to this chart in the product description here on Amazon.) The respected expert reviewer DC Rainmaker has attested that the estimates in the chart are generally accurate, and this has been my experience. I am on track to get 12 hours from my first charge, with standard GPS, no phone or sensor pairings, no backlighting, no alerts, etc. If you need all those features, and take long rides, you should probably look for a model with a larger battery, but it will also be larger in size. The point is, you can estimate the battery life in your use case before you purchase. Regarding the user interface, I wish fewer button pushes were required to do basic functions, like starting a ride. It is annoying to have to choose the ride type on each ride. But, the significance of this should not be exaggerated. On an iPhone, it takes four steps to delete a batch of emails that are already in the trash, which is just as annoying. And Apple is considered the paragon of interface design. If you can operate a cell phone, you can learn to use the 130 Plus. And if you ride often, using it will quickly become second nature. If you absolutely want to minimize the use of buttons, then you should look for a model with a touch interface, but that brings its own tradeoffs. So far, my Garmin 130 Plus has performed as advertised, and without issue.

Great bike computer that relays information at a glance. The size is very small and I might upgrade to a larger model in the future, but the 130 Plus has all the necessities such as speed, cadence, distance, an odometer, downloadable routes, elevation, etc. Biggest downside I think is the navigation is very barebones, which is a limitation due to the size of the computer.

Starts up/acquires GPS quickly, super simple to operate and read while in motion on my MTB. I like the ride stats (it even counts and measures jumps) plus easy syncs to Strava. Great first bike computer for me.

Years later and this thing is still kicking! I've since upgraded for my own personal bike computer, but I've handed this down to my wife and she's loving it so far. It's small and compact, but the screen is easy to see and the GPS seems to work great!

This is my first GPS cycling computer. The small size is perfect. Very secure mounted to my 35 mm handlebar. I'm using the handlebar mount that came in the package. No movement or rattling while riding single track. The display is very easy to read with different display settings available. When used with the Garmin Connect app you get lots of stats pertaining to the ride you just completed. Color graphs, a color coded map of what you just rode, not just the course but what you actually rode. It will show multiple laps , fast sections slow sections, climbs etc...The app is loaded with stuff for a multiple of activities from walking, running biking and so on. Anyways I'm really enjoying this. Finally I'm no longer guessing at how many miles I'm riding. The battery life seems to be ok. From fully charged I've gone on 4 rides about 7 hours and the battery charge is at 41%. This is also includes the use of a speed sensor. I got the speed sensor because I heard it adds accuracy to the speed and milage. I have not used the Garmin 130 plus without it. All in all I've always wanted a GPS cycling computer but they were so expensive . This unit and buying the speed sensor still wasn't cheep but I felt like it offers a lot of value for the price.

Have been using Garmin Instinct watch for my rides, but what's lacking was that I am unable to view the watch face while riding. This makes it hard for me to check for navigation and other data fields such as cadence, speed, etc quickly. Setting up this computer is easy. Existing sensors paired with the Garmin Instinct watch are transferred to to the computer during the set up, which meant that I don't need go through the pairing dance again. My watch is now the heart rate monitor for my rides, and yes, it can be paired to the computer as well.

Excellent appareil

Mi Garmin EDGE 1000 dejo de funcionar, y decidí irme por este Garmin sobre todo por el precio, en principio y aunque leí las reseñas no contemple lo pequeño que es, sin embargo, es un muy buen producto de Garmin, tiene las funciones que tenía en el otro ciclocomputador, aunque extraño un poco la pantalla táctil, los botones de este modelo son bastante fáciles de usar. Si bien el modelo es pequeño se ve bastante bien y tiene suficiente contraste en la pantalla para leer las métricas, se pueden ordenar las pantallas de datos según se necesite y el número más grande se puede utilizar con la métrica que uno desee. Al principio no encontraba como mantenerlo prendido, ya que en la noche pues no tiene el contraste automático como el anterior, sin embargo, si tiene la función de retroalimentación y mantener encendido, la batería se descargó lo normal para una rodada en la noche de hora y media. En general lo recomiendo ampliamente en relación calidad-precio y que tiene todas las funcionalidades de los demás Garmin.

exatamente como prometido!! excelente!!

Cumpre o que promete. Atende minhas necessidades.
