Been a few people asking about these recently & I've been quite negative about my Macro, with some frustrating functionality issues.
Recent firmware update has changed things considerably.
Can now support multiple bikes, with individual settings for screens, sensors etc.
Navigation turn by turn has been improved too, although it's still not as good as acGarmin with proper maps it seems much more reliable than it was & the turn notifications have improved significantly.
You can also set distance and temperature units separately too now, just a personal irritation previously as I like distance in km & temp in Celsius!
All settings can now be adjusted easily from the phone app which is far easier than fiddling with buttons & menus on the device.
Add that to the one main thing I did like which is the great battery life (easily getting 2-3 days per charge) and I'm now back in the 'recommended' camp.
It certainly looks like Lezyne are prepared to keep working at making it better.
Given the prices I reckon if you don't need proper map based nav they are a no brainer.
Really liking mine.
Not mastered the turn-by-turn navigation yet though - does that only work with routes you've defined in the app (as opposed to created elsewhere and uploaded via the app) ?
I got one for my birthday recently, it's got a strange issue where it drops latitude or longitude position in single lines of the track data. Has the effect of shooting you off to the time meridian, (about 200 miles east) or the equator, (few thousand south) and back in 2 seconds.
Got some KoM's that are unlikely to ever be beaten though! 😆
Upgrade have been really responsive trying to suggest solutions, fair play to them, but now waiting for Lezyne's response.
For me, jury's still out until this is fixed but I do like it in general.
Got a mini one, the ascent values always seem wildly optimistic but happy enough otherwise
Have they added a 1 second recording mode? It's the only thing I thought was missing.
1 sec has been added.
Aye, the latest update does appear to have added a lot of stuff that is useful. I hadn't realised what it didn't have.
I'm about to stick it back on my bike and use it instead of my Garmin Vivoactive hr.
The 1 second recording is a real difference for accuracy.
I might even try the turn-by-turn feature.
How new is the firmware? My missus bought one (the micro watch) few weeks ago (upgraded the firmware at the time) - my overall opinion of it so far is quite low. It won't stay connected to a phone and the accuracy of the GPS is vastly inferior to my Garmin she was using.
New firmware is about a week old.
Been looking at these recently...
Can you tell me what lap functions they have please
What details does it give you
For example- lap distance,lap time, auto lap by postion, etc
Thanks
Let than a week since the update came out. My phone failed to connect when I first got the device (almost a year ago)...removed connection from phone, updated firmware and reconnected and be superb ever since (although not used for last 3 months due to Garmin watch).
I have the v9 mini which I paid about 30 pounds for from wiggle. Apart from no Bluetooth think it's an amazing but of kit. Battery life is incredible and it's a great backup for recording strava or records in general.
