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

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!

Excellent product and it tracks mileage and time perfectly.

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.

A pesar de per pequeño los datos se leen muy bien en la pantalla, para mis necesidades va perfecto.

It's small, so if you need glasses to read/see up close don't get this. However, I absolutely love it! It pairs with the phone ap quickly. Battery lasts about 7 to 8 hours, that's why I'm giving it a 4. It's very basic, but easy to use. You can import routes from Ride with GPS and Map My Ride.

I love the Garmin Edge 130 Plus because of the LiveTrack feature through the Garmin Connect app. I’m not a very strong rider and ride in an area with steady traffic. Before I head out, I start LiveTrack and send a tracking link to my SO so that they have an idea where I am. This feature definitely works because they were able to locate me on the road on a day that I wasn’t on one of my usual routes.We’ve also tested the assistance alert which works, though luckily haven’t had a reason to use it.I use it on about 3 short rides and 1 long ride per week and only charge it about once every two weeks.

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.

I bought this to explore the local trails near where I live. The Garmin Express software allows you to create your own trail by drawing your desired route and then uploading the map to the Edge.The navigation is so far hit or miss. I noticed that there are some turns where it will notify you about 50-100 ft before the actual turn, but in the display, it says the turn is about 200-300ft away. Most of the time, when it says to take the turn, you would have either missed the junction or you would have already made it. This delay can obviously be annoying if you're in new territory and is completely reliant on the instructions. I tend to review my route first and have a rough idea, so if you're planning to go into a new territory, best is not to rely this 100%.Battery life has been fine. My rides tend to last less than 2 hours, so it might not be a good gauge. I've also added a heart rate monitor (I used my older Polar H10 and it worked without any issues), and a cadence sensor.Overall, this meet my current needs. I'm by no means a competitive rider, and am just using it to have a rough idea of my planned routes.
