Garmin Edge 1060 released but are there better alternatives?

A$1299

No big reason to upgrade from 1040 or 1050. Battery life remains same as 1050 and same display.

I charge my 1040 solar every 3 weeks. it’s bad enough i have to charge my fly12 and garmin varia a couple of times a week, the pedals and di2 gears once a month. i don’t want to have to be charging another device weekly.

Ridiculous price with no new features I am after compared to my 1030+.

I’ll be getting a different brand when the 1030 dies. They have priced themselves out.

Have a 1050 and see no reason to even contemplate an uprgrade.

@warthog I went to Wahoo for a bit and then came back to Garmin to go the big print version, 1030 at the time. Then the 1050 screen wooed me :joy:

I use several Garmin ConnectIQ apps nowadays, so might be trapped a little :slight_smile:

No Garmin apps used by me. Display (declining) power, HR, Speed, distance and mapping ability is all I need.

Igpsport binavi ultra for less than half the price, or something along those lines, would do me.

I can put you onto some good ones if you so desire

Please do. Just plonk it in this thread so all can have a look. :+1:

The igpsport ultra looks interesting.

No direct support for uploading to intervals.icu but there is a github project that syncs. It runs on Windows, Apple and Android.

Would not buy any bike computer that has not been reviewed and given the tick of approval from DC Rainmaker and/or GPLama. Any other reviews are just fluff.

Yes, I’d like to see a dcrainmaker review of the iGPSPORT.

I follow their reviews too, particularly GPLama, I like his videos.

Have higher requirements than I do however. I just want reliable basic functions. Track distance and speed and monitor/display radar alerts and power.

The top end computers have added capabilities I just won’t use. Couldn’t really give a shit about climb pro for instance.

The navigation needs to be usable too. It was why I stopped using my edge 1000. It lacked the storage and processing power to have many routes available.

gplama has an initial review of the coros 2 up. not a fan would be his 3 word summary
