I’m a fairly casual cyclist doing mostly road/gravel cycling with random spurts of MTB trown in the mix. I’ve been using Garmin forerunner watch as my stats gatherer, but recently I’ve been toying with the idea of buying a dedicated cycling computer.
So my question to you, the gurus of the cycling world is, what would be the best option for me? My budget is around 300€ and I’d like it to have navigation capabilities. The two main candidates I’ve been looking at are Garmin edge 530 and Wahoo Elemnt Bolt v2.
I really like the look of the Wahoo, but I’m pretty deep into the Garmin ecosystem due to my previous watches being Garmin’s.
So what cycling computers do you guys use and what are your recommendations?
The only issue with a phone is that it might damage the camera. The camera has a stabilizing motor mechanism in it and this could potentially be damaged through all the vibration. The camera will be constantly trying to adjust the mechanism and that might burn it out or something.
