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

The touch screen is huge and excellent. Very easy to customize to view multiple desired metrics during a ride. I upgraded from a Garmin Edge 510 so this is a big leap up in capabilities. Was going to get an Edge 520 but the 1030 was selling for a $200 discount. Have read that the 520 is just as good. Would have given the 1030 5 stars all around, but within two months the battery started behaving oddly - went from 70+% to zero overnight. Couldn’t get it to start so had to do a full reboot at which point it suddenly showed 20% power. We will see if it is happy or if it continues.

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.

Es un súper gps, es fácil de ver mientras se maneja la bicicleta y las bases lo mantienen muy bien estable

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.

Working as planned
