Garmin Edge 820 Price Crash
That’s a rather dramatic headline but true. It looks like Amazon UK are clearing out stock of the Edge 820 as the replacement Garmin Edge 830 will hit the shelves in the next 10 weeks. That means that UK pricing of the Edge 820 is now at an all-time Amazon low of GBP141. Prices in…
Shimano Di2 – the dark side of the metrics
This is a short article highlighting some of the wonderful things you can do with Di2. I’m describing what I can do with a 2017 Ultegra R8050 derailleurs and DuraAce R9150 shifters which ARE more capable in the breadth of functionality they support than earlier models. Apologies in advance if you already have Di2 and…

WAHOO ELEMNTs BOLT /&/ MINI – What’s New With the smaller ELEMNT and tinier MINI? Review & Comparison to follow
Published: March 2017 WAHOO’s new, smaller-sized, “ELEMNT BOLT” looks great. ELEMNT MINI announced (here) It comes in at pretty much the same size as Garmin’s Edge 520 and Edge 820. Whilst it hasn’t got the same, rich feature set as the 820 it nevertheless does have a great feature set. No doubt it hopes to capitalise…
Team Suunto vs Team Garmin – The Roundabout-of-GPS-Doom Duel – GPS/Cycling Accuracy Test
After a Half-Iron distance race at the weekend, today was still a recovery day. 10k on a bike seemed sensible enough as did the thought of combining that into a GPS test. The cunning plan was to circle the Roundabout-of-GPS-Doom. Perhaps a faster-moving me might give rise to different GPS results than previous running-based tests?…
Garmin Edge 820 get a welcome firmware boost
A few annoying little feubles on the Garmin Edge 820 have been squashed with the latest v3.20 firmware. My wifi software update kept getting stuck on the home page – not any more. Sometimes it was tricky navigating back onto a course – not any more. Panic at home as I DIDN’T have an accident…
HEVER Castle Triathlon: Half-Iron Distance Kit Choice : To Garmin or not to Garmin. That is a question.
Should I ? Or shouldn’t I? Do I go Garmin for the Hever HIM this weekend? I know the Garmin Forerunner 920XT will be fine as will the Garmin HRM-TRI. I have some new apps to try out on the Garmin Edge 820 from XERT that are super cool. The Garmin footpod is a necessity…
Suunto SPARTAN ULTRA – GPS Tests for accuracy against Edge 820, TomTom Runner Spark 3, Polar V800 and Garmin 920XT
The main purpose of this test was to put my mind to rest about what seems to be great hardware in the Suunto SPARTAN ULTRA using last week’s firmware v1.1.30. Hopefully my GPS test might, or might not, also allay the fears of some AMBIT 3 users contemplating a Suunto upgrade for Christmas. Backstory: I’ve probably used…
Garmin Edge 820 Battery Test Update
In this recent post, https://the5krunner.com/2016/08/05/navigation-fest-edge-820-and-others-do-9-hours-of-trail-navigation/, I managed to get about 8 hours of battery using turn-by-turn (TBT) navigation – GPS+GLONASS, HRV/per-second recording, HRM and a PM. It lasted between 7.5 or 8.5 hours. I tried a VERY similar route again today (near identical). This time I managed only 6 hours of battery. The only material…

Garmin Forerunner 635 for August ?? (Note the question marks please for this optical HR sports watch)
There’s a new Garmin registered at the fcc. What it is I have no idea. We’ve just had a new Garmin Edge cycling computer with the 820. We’ve just had a new triathlon watch with the 735XT. surely it’s the turn for the runners with a souped up Forerunner 630? If the 635 is coming…
Review (ette): Garmin Varia RTL 500 Rearview Radar (with Garmin Edge 820)
I’ve already had 3 relatively quick rides with the RTL 500 (and the Edge 820). It’s a compatible accessory for top-end Garmin Edge devices that provides a rear light and radar-based alerts to your Edge. It works surprisingly well with the latest firmware. When a vehicle approaches from over 100m away your Edge beeps and…
Garmin Edge 820 & Edge Explore 820 – Formal Announcement
The Edge 820, again, was not one of the world’s best-kept secrets. Here, below, is the formal Garmin press release for those of you who have not already seen the leaked details. SUMMARY: It looks good, a bit of a boring evolution of the 520/810/1000 but I’d reluctantly buy it for the super-mini screen size. Available…
Opinion: Garmin Edge 820
Garmin generally make great cycling computers. The Edge 820 looks to follow in that tradition. The 820 is a clichéd EVOLUTION not revolution. Having said that it brings together much of what is good about the Edge 810, the Edge 520 and the Edge 1000. It’s a consolidation. Having said that, I’m still not quite…
Comparison: Garmin Edge 820 vs Garmin Edge 810 vs Garmin Edge 520
The Garmin Edge 820 is finally announced. With some caveats, I like it a lot. ESSENTIAL READING: Review of the Garmin Edge 820 Below is a quick comparison of the Edge 820 to the Edge 520 and the more dated Edge 810. There’s not as many differences as you might think. I’m working on an opinion…
Garmin Edge 820 – !! Here It Is !! Full specifications AT LAST
Here are the full specifications for the new Garmin Edge 820. It will probably be announced some time today. These are directly from the Garmin website. The product is internally stored at Garmin as the Edge 530. So the 530 and the 820 appear to be the same thing. There is also an Edge 820…
2x *NEW* Garmins Emerge: Edge 820 *AND* Edge820 *EXPLORE*
Edit: Full Specs Just Announced For Edge 820 <here> This post contained two images/screenshots from the now-deleted new 820 videos, I have removed the 2 images and Garmin removed their own youtube videos from youtube.

Garmin Edge 820 – 100% Confirmation with Varia Vision
If further confirmation of the Edge 820 were needed here it is
Garmin Edge 8xx series to be discontinued? 810 820 530 1010 1030 505
What a strange title. Surely the Edge 810 cannot be the end of the line for the Edge 8xx series. That must be a ridiculous thing to argue after the recent appearance of the Edge 820 Video (image to the right)? An alternate point of view is that Garmin are embracing a deliberate leak policy.…
