The sensors on this have greatly improved the quality of my bicycle rides. This device combined with nutritional changes and a good bicycle fit from a physical therapist have enabled me to do all day bicycle rides up and down steep mountain roads without injuring myself. The cadence reading in particular is very helpful because the cadence enables me to know when to change gears. Also I can see my heart rate getting lower during the same intensity rides week after week, which tells me that my heart is getting stronger. Riding without this would be like riding blind. Be aware though that the reseller modified the default settings. At one point I had to do a factory reset and the display and setup was all different. The resellers settings are a reasonable place to start. Changing the settings could be complex, and there are a lot of fine grained variables you could tweak if you really wanted to be scientific about it. The resulting data changes a lot depending on how you have things configured, so you could create a mess if you tried to change the resellers configuration and if you were not prepared to really get into the science of how you want this configured.

I received the package from PlayBetter last week. It took me no longer than 15 minutes to unpack, turn on, install on my bike. All the sensors connected easily with the Garmin 1030. After a couple of rides, I confirmed that this is working perfectly. The Garmin Connect website gives you a lot of functionality that is very useful. I had a question that I asked PlayBetter about. They answered quickly and provided great customer service - thanks!

I hate getting lost and love data to understand how Im progressing. Getting lost distracts me from realizing optimal performance; this device keeps me on track and allows me to monitor the grade ahead and prepare for in addition to my tracking my speed and cadence. Its invaluable.

I previously had an Edge 520 before I got the 1030 Plus. There is no real comparison. Then 1030 is bigger, in color and sensitive to touch like a cell phone. I use theap constantly to ride in new areas and look for alternative routes while riding.

Bought this for my wife for her birthday. She is a tri-athlete and AVID cyclist. She will be riding the Gap and C & O trails (Pittsburgh to Wash DC) in August so I thought it made sense to have a little technology onboard.

The 1030 and 1030+ is way to much for most riders. Therere less complicated units out there for most riders need. That being said, Garmin came a long way with 1030+! This is the best Garmin I ever owned and I own four of them. Installation with all my bikes Sram eTap and sensors, software upgrade and pairing with my iPhone was just so easy!

Battery life is the best

Average miles is off, not sure why, will follow up with garmin directly

Very easy to setup. Used old configuration from edge 820

Ive been using Garmin Edge cycling computers ever since 2014, and for the most part Ive liked them. Ive had the Edge 1000, Edge 1030, and now the Edge 1030 Plus. Unfortunately I couldnt get the Edge 1030 Plus to work with my iPhone 11 Pro. I tried pairing it again and again, and it didnt work until maybe 15 attempts. It finally did pair, but I was nervous that this would be an ongoing problem, so I unpaired it, and tried to pair it again. I was never able to pair it again, so I ended up returning it.
