What customers say about "Key Specs"

Lezyne Super GPS Enhanced Cycling Computer

Sensor connection solid, gps lock solid, can be set up using the ally app on mobile phone.
In any event, I've found it gives accurate measurements, no dropouts or anything like that.
I expected it to lose connection in the redwood forest with hills/valleys... but it seems to have done just fine.
Loving the ability to now have up to 8 data elements on a single screen.
The multiple screens are impressively configurable, you can easily set it up via the phone app to be data-dense, or just target to a few data points like speed and time.

Garmin Edge 520 Bike GPS

Easy to use, no issues with connection, great set of items to display.
The size/weight is perfect, screen is always legible.
I like the size, features and downloads to my iPhone.
Great GPS system, perfect size and full of features!
Acquires GPS satellites much faster, and the Glonass is very good to have as well.

What customers say about "Display"

Lezyne Super GPS Enhanced Cycling Computer

I love that i can easily adjust the backlighting so i can keep track of data in the dead of night.
The screen is easily readable in all conditions.
It has a great screen that is visible daylight, has great backlight for nighttime cycling.
GPS buttons logical operation and screen easy to see and not glary in sunlight.
The screen is very easy to see in full sun.

Garmin Edge 520 Bike GPS

I like the compact size, yet still a big display.
Display is bright, and I was surprised how readable it is considering it's color display.
The larger display compared to the wrist models is great, and it has true mapping capabilities.
Screen size is good. Not too big and not too small. It has enough squares to get the information I want on the screen.
There was so little contrast on the display that it was practically unreadable no matter the lighting.

What customers say about "Features"

Lezyne Super GPS Enhanced Cycling Computer

Phone and Strava integration were my priorities in selecting a computer that could do more than speed, and the Super GPS delivers.
I have my Lezyne computer paired with a Wahoo TICKR heart rate monitor, Wahoo Speed sensor, Wahoo Cadence sensor, and a Google Pixel.
I was able to get incoming call notifications and never lost coverage. It syncs up to my Strava via Bluetooth and I was able to download and post my ride very quickly.
All sensors paired on the first try and perform as expected.
I may have gone with the Bryton 530, but it doesn't have Strava Live Segments support while the Lezyne does.

Garmin Edge 520 Bike GPS

With the auto scroll setup I'm able to see more data and my route.
I'm using bluetooth to sync to my phone and finding the Garmin Android app to be much more useful than it was with the Garmin 25.
With my mobile phone's bluetooth, I'm able to effortlessly synch my ride to garmin connect and auto upload it to my Strava account.
I added a speed transmitter primarily for indoor training, then I added a rpm transmitter and I just added a heart rate monitor transmitter. The information it supplies me is great.
Constantly says I'm off course when I'm using a pre-planned route.

What customers say about "Battery"

Lezyne Super GPS Enhanced Cycling Computer

The battery life is very good on this unit, certainly better than most.
All in all, I'm very happy with this and the battery life is great.
The gps works at least as well as my phone, and the battery life is much longer than my phone's battery.
I’m very happy with my lezyne. You couldn’t run the battery down if you tried.
For $100 less than the competition, this does everything you need from a modern cycling computer. The exceptional battery life is a great bonus.

Garmin Edge 520 Bike GPS

After 3 hours of use the battery is on track to last about 10 hours with gps.
One thing that I have enjoyed is the long battery life. I ride about 140 miles a week which takes 7+ hours and only have to charge it about once every other week.
Love this, battery life is great.
At night there is a backlight that does drain the battery somewhat rapidly.
Battery runs down after only 3 or so hours, so it has to be charged after every ride.
