Garmins are buggy though, but once you get used to working around the most common bugs they are quite reliable.
I think Garmin just had the best devices in the early days, and now rely more upon brand loyalty (myself included) than technical advances. Touch bezels in the Forerunner range deserve a special place in design hell though.
(Granted I'm not the average Garmin user as I'm more interested in ultra-distance.)
- TarpitCarnivore 10y agoThe Garmin Edge 500 is going to go down as the best cycling computer ever. I have a 510 and touch interface leaves a lot to be desired, but I can't complain with how well it does on my bike. Was out for 10 hours last year (5-6 moving) and the day ended with something like 30% battery. Never skipped a beat with my sensors or GPS
