Is anyone using a Garmin Edge 200 at the moment? I have been riding with one for a few weeks now and I cant but help thinking that I should have gone for either the Edge 800 or something similar that allows heart rate recording and cycle sensor compatibility. What is everyone else using in terms of cycle computer kit?

Sell it to me

I considered the 200, but have decided on the 500 bundle. I just thought the 200 is an expensive, but very conmprehensive bike computer.

Anyone used on of these in the woods? I wonder how the GPS signal is when using it off road.

They all seem to be a bit more road orientated.

Is there any navigation features at all?

I’ve actually gone the other way in that I used to have an old 300 but found it way to complicated. I got the 200 as I just wanted the features I was using but without the stupidly low battery life. I’m very pleased with mine I have to say.

No as far as I’m aware there is no navigation features

Have you found any signal issues.

I really fancy the 200 but am wanting to use it both road and off road just get an extra bike mount and a quick swap.

I really like the simplicity of the 200, looks like the perfect computer to me assuming it works as it says on the tin!!

I was the same, I just swap it over between my mtb and my cx bike, stores rides and then I download them, I only keep 2-3 rides on there at any one time so can’t comment on any more. Haven’t had an signal issues so far. To me it’s the perfect computer.

It looks like i will be getting one next month. Got to get christmas out the way first 🙂

I recently switched from a 300 to the new 200 and I regret it. I never used any of the navigation features or the HR function on the 300, but at least it could tell me the fookin time.

The Garmin 200 is too basic for my very simple needs I wish I had bought the 500.

How much do you reckon I could sell it for? 😆

Oh i would say about £70

Used mine for the first time today.Worked vey well, but is there no way of having the current time displayed when in Ride mode? If not thats crap.Whats the point of having the time on the menu page but not when you’re riding. Is this the same on the 500 does anyone know, because i’ll be changing if this is the case.

Bump for the Sunday morning crowd.

You can change the display on the 500 to show whatever information you want and one of the options is the current time.

pete i’ll take the 200 off you.

No current time in ride mode but going back to the main page will show you the current time and the timer
