    Couldn't an iphone or ipod touch with a good app do the same? At this price i meant.

    • resubaehtgnolhcs on 09/01/2017 - 00:39

      Ipods don't have built-in GPS

      • wtfnodeal on 09/01/2017 - 00:41

        I see. What about an iphone se or some not so top of the range smart phone at this price point?

        • slipperypete on 09/01/2017 - 00:47

          This is more for dedicated riders….an iphone can do a fair amount. Unless you are pretty enthusiastic you could get by with a phone mounted to your bars…there are heaps of good apps out there as savol pointed out.

        • calcium on 09/01/2017 - 19:07

          The advantage of using an iPhone over this is it gives you way way more elevation,
          for the same ride! :-)

    • savol on 09/01/2017 - 00:42

      I don't think that an iPhone can record your GPS location for 15 hours, plus the screen on the Garmin is optimised to be readable in sunlight. However, for many people an iPhone/Android phone running Strava (or a similar app) is definitely a good and cheap option.

      • pitufon on 09/01/2017 - 08:14

        Limited functions only. if you want to get as close as the garmin you need paid subscription.

      Not if you are going on 4-5 hour rides. GPS tends to chew through the power on an iphone. Also, smartphones are both big and also not very 'pro' for serious cyclists.

      This Garmin is a serious cycle computer and aimed at the type of guys that ride with heart rate straps and powermeters. If you dont know what Di2 and a powermeter is you probably dont need this computer. If you ride your flat bar bike 15km to work a few days a week use your smartphone, this is overkill!

        I thought a pro cyclist counts evry gram of weight of stuff on their bikes so if you are going to carry a smart phone with you when you ride anyway then why buy this to put extra weight on your bike? Wouldn't it defeat the purpose people pay extra $1000 to upgrade from Ultegra to Dura Ace to save 200g of weight?

        • 8azinga on 09/01/2017 - 11:54

          Bike are so light now that you can add accessories and still be at the 6.8kg limit. Some guys have to add ballast to make the limit.

        • wtfnodeal on 09/01/2017 - 12:05

          @gazza88: you meant in a race? Do you need a GPS in a race?

        • 2ndeffort on 09/01/2017 - 13:26

          @wtfnodeal: Most of the pros have computers reading all sorts of stats during a race. GPS would just be one of the inputs to some of the calculations on the data analytics for whatever stats their team are monitoring. If you look you will see most wear an earpiece, they will have their team boss on the radio telling them to increase their speed or to attack up a particular hill or even to tell them where their rival/competition is. GPS data would be one of the many pieces of info being analysed by both rider and team.

        • wtfnodeal on 09/01/2017 - 13:43

          @2ndeffort: so a pro cyclist doesn't carry a smart phone in a race so this device is good for them but when not in a race isn't this device just an extra weight? And also if you are a pro cyclist wouldn't you get Garmin to sponsor your team this kind of device instead of paying for it yourself?

          @wtfnodeal: Garmin arent the only people that make these kinds of things but one of the pro teams is indeed sponsored by Garmin (or at least has been in the past). Many of the pros use a similar device made by Pioneer that is linked primarily to the powermeter on their cranks. I am pretty sure none of the pros carry a smartphone in a race, that spot in their jersey is filled by a radio to their team manager. Some of the pros have posted pictures of their Garmins after stages of a race. I saw Cav tweeted one after a stage at this year's TDF where he hit over 100 km/hr on a descent. Niki Terpstra uploaded his Garmin Data to Strava after winning Paris-Roubaix in 2015! I am pretty sure I saw Cancellara's was posted up after winning gold at the Rio Olympics as well.

          Garmins can capture all sorts of stuff. Mine warned me on the weekend that the battery in my Di2 was almost flat prompting me to head home and put the groupset on charge rather than keep going and risk not being able to change gears. You can even sync the thing with the smartphone in your back pocket as you ride and have it keep track of whether you are on track for a Strava KOM (or QOM). Mine even tells me which gear ratio i am in (not that this is much use to me). I am interested in stuff like my cadence, speed, elapsed time and heartrate though. I know you can track how many watts you are putting out through your powermeter. It also tracks all of this stuff for analysis later if you are that serious about your training.

          I dont know anyone that wants a big smartphone on their handlebars. If you crash and its on your handlebars your phone is probably toast. If you ride for 3 hrs + your phone battery is probably dead. If you arent in a race and are just training then the extra few grams a smartphone weighs in your jersey pocket is worth it for the security of being able to call a taxi if you break 4 spokes hitting a pothole and need a lift home.

          If the few grams a smartphone (or a garmin) weighs is going to make all the difference between keeping up with your cycling bunch or getting dropped then maybe visit the bathroom before you leave home. A quick trip to the loo before leaving home will probably shed more weight than an iphone. If your training rides or shop rides are so competitive that it comes down to the last 300 grams, then by all means shed everything non-essential and have your wife follow you around in a Skoda with a mechanic hanging out the window and 4 spare bikes on the roof.

          End of the day though, if you want to ride with a smartphone on your handlebars go for it. I dont, nobody I know or ride with does, none of the pros do but I am nobody to judge, if it works for you go for it!

        • 8azinga on 09/01/2017 - 17:09

          @wtfnodeal: During training, weight isnt an issue as more weight would be beneficial to training on hills. The GPS function makes data analysis much better even when racing or training. Knowing your power output, speed, HR, cadence etc isnt very useful if you dont know what the terrain is. The GPS function would show you the gradient of the climb and more and you can compare your speed and power from previous rides at specific points to see if you have improved. You dont need to be a pro to be using Garmins and some lower level 'pro' teams will be paying for some of their equipment.

    good price

    I sure don't want a phone worth over a grand sitting on my handlebars.
    Crashes happen in the blink of an eye and a phone is by design fairly delicate.
    The Garmins are built pretty tough and can handle all the rain you can throw at them.
    My sisters gifted to me an Edge 1000.
    This 820 looks the dogs bollocks too and for what appears to be a great price.

  • garage sale on 09/01/2017 - 08:05

    A smart phone could do a similar function but not as well ……. The hardware and size of these computers are optimised for cycling, not a compromise to be a phone.

      i think they realised they forgot to restrict Australia from being able to purchase as it is a new product. It is available from their international site.

      • Rifraf on 12/01/2017 - 22:01

    So I saw this ad in the CBD yesterday, for this device. Looks like someone (though not this vendor) doesn't understand the metric system.

      That is a very good question
