Tom Tom Multi-sport GPS watch v. Garmin 910XT
So I'm thinking I need to step up the tech on the bike a notch, and with Santa still wondering what to bring me, I'm wondering if anyone's used one of the Tom Tom Multi-sport watches? A like the idea of a device that I can use off the bike.
The watch form factor appeals as I've been meaning to get back in the pool. Both the Garmin and the Tom Tom have a swim function. I'm not going to set any King of the Waves, but I do get sick of counting laps!
Want a bargin GPS? Bryton Rider 20 with HRM for $110 landed!
For those looking for GPS on a budget here's a great deal!
Smartphone apps are OK, but a smartphone it probably too valuable to strap onto your handlbars, probably isn't waterproof, eats through too much battery when using the GPS & screen and doesn't have a heart rate monitor.
If you are looking for a cheap GPS unit to overcome these problems then this is about as good a deal as I've ever seen.
Faulty Garmin ANT+ HRM?
Hey all,
When I went out for yesterday's ride I discovered the HRM wasn't working. This was a bit odd as it was working just fine 5 days earlier.
Can't blame the battery as I tried a new one later. Can't blame the Edge GPS as amusingly when another rider passed me it picked up their HR for just a second or so.
Has anyone else had a similar problem where the HRM just stopped working and been able to coax it back into life? I tried rescan on the Edge, tried changing batteries as discussed but suspect the simple answer is the HRM itself has just died for no good reason
