Fantastic screen and mapping experience. Worth it
3 weeks ago
Best mapping experience you can get on a bike computer. Makes the map far more functional to use whether you are on the road or MTB. Much quicker/responsive than previous 840 model. You'll need a case because the unit is heavier and more likely to get damaged if dropped. If you can get over charging it every 2-3 rides then its the one to get.

underwhelming battery life
1 month ago
I'll start with the good. The screen looks nice and the unit works well. The very unfortunate miss is the battery life which is HALF of what the outgoing unit is under "demanding" use. This would have been a home run if it kept the same battery life I ended up returning it and getting a much cheaper previous model on sale

OK on the road, terrible on trails
6 days ago
I bought this for integrated Trailforks maps, but trail navigation is very difficult to follow! The default settings only show the map on about 1/3 of the already small screen. It’s harder to follow than the very tiny screen on my fenix?! Maybe if had spent time setting up the mountain bike profile it could have been better? But…. I bought it for a trip without time to configure everything and it made my rides miserable. There are just so many options and features that I’d want to disable in order to make it useful and less distracting mid ride. For example, I don’t need a pop up for every “climb”. I was constantly having to hold a button to unlock the screen (auto lock was on by default for MTB), then swipe to get back to the navigation page. It frequently disconnected from my phone. Even simply syncing after a ride required turning Bluetooth off/on on my phone. Each time I started a road ride, I would have to reboot my fenix and pull the battery on my power meter to get them connected for HR and power display. Lastly, text size is way too small for phone notifications (when it would stay connected). I’m returning this and sticking with my fenix for fitness tracking and wahoo roam v2 for navigation/display that I’ve been using trouble free.
