I’ve used a Garmin Edge 130 for 3 years and it’s absolutely brilliant. Long battery life and accurate directions when following an uploaded route. Plus it doesn’t look like I’ve strapped a TV screen to my handlebars!

I love my Element Bolt V2. The interface is fantastic, and lack of a touch screen is welcomed. Battery life is very good, and spot on accuracy. Plus it's not to bulky..

Nothing beats the trusty Garmin Edge 130. It has all that matters in a compact and quite readable package. I prefer it quite a lot to my 530 that has a ton of things that I never use. My only complaint is that Garmin does not replace their batteries.

I'll second that - BSC300 has fantastic battery life - managed to convert a hardcore Garmin fanboy to IGPsport - gatewayed him into the brand with a loan of a BSC200 and he was impressed enough to go buy the 300 which he ses me using all the time.

I was impressed by the Bryton so tried the bryton app, wouldn't load on my 10 inch tablet but did in my phone I tried a sample route, somewhere I intend going and have done so before. It offered me a route which was nearly all on major roads despite most of the route being doable on shared footpath/cycle way well away from the diesel fumes. I think I'll carry on with a map and my memory.

Was happy with my no frills Bryton 420 until they did a huge fuck up with an update in spring 2024. The unit was totally useless, following a preplant route was impossible as the GPS position had a lack of 12-15 sec to the real position :-( I got sick after that second big update fuck up for the 420 within 2,5 years and bought a iGSPort 630s. Yes, colour and real navigation with integreted map but I still miss some of the functions offered by the Rider 420. Bryton fixed the 420 problems after huge rant by the users with an update, unit works fine again and I keep it as back-up to the new iGSPort 630s bike computer.

The quality of the routing is critical. They should mention this. I have an old Mio cyclo 210, which I picked up from £130 a few years back. It is purely a navigation device as it has no external sensors for power meters etc. but it does this really well and finds nice quiet routes and has a nice clear colour screen

I have the Wahoo Roam V1 ( before that the Elemnt) Its always been reliable and accurate, re routing for missed turns and battery life - likewise really great for less than what you can get a garmin for. It's got my vote, because after having the Xoss G+ and the Bryton Ryder 420.. yeah sometimes you DO get what you pay for... and i found it for a lot less than $400! for the Roam V1, or the older Elemnt for much the same price point of the $150 Garmin!

Perfect set-up for me is a simple cycle computer tracking speed, distance, time, plus an OS Map - cover removed and folded up either into a frame bag or pocket. No chance of battery failure or it bugging out on the GPS, plus it's easier to reroute with a physical map. Downside is it getting wet, although you can buy waterproof OS Maps, or blown away if your not careful.

Demand is going to dictate cost, if Apple was making a new iphone and was selling as many of those as Garmin sells a 1040, guess how much that iPhone would cost? A high end iPhone costs around $350 to produce, and being sold for approx $1200 , dude everyone is getting ripped off...

Completely pointless comparison. That's like saying how much of a rip off a cel phone is compared to a PC. These computers, whilst maybe overpriced, they offer some brilliant proven technology in a very small package, which is more than ideal compared to strapping an ever enlarging cel phone to handlebars. Whilst I agree the technology is overpriced. These definitely have a very big presence and demand for a very good reason

If the $150 smartphone (acting as a GPS) is mounted correctly, then it shouldn’t fly off the handlebar at all compared to a $750 bicycle GPS device. Bicycle GPS are way too overpriced as the OP stated.

I use the Garmin Explore 2, but traveling between US and EU, discovered that with limited internal storage I can't have both US and EU maps and the process of removing/loading maps through Garmin Express PC app is BUGGY and very time consuming. This otherwise fine bike computer feels intentionally crippled by Garmin given the price difference between 16gb and 32gb microSD cards is miniscule!

I had an xoss G+ . used it for 2 seasons, the problem I had was no re-routing - loading a route was terrible, and it was sometimes hard to get the data off the thing - and up to strava. APP UI was not great. BUT for most people this would be an ok, inexpensive unit. But I wanted a bit more than it could give.
