Yesterday I had my first ride wit my Edge 830. Coming from a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt, which I have been using for several years, I was somewhat excited. Had no problems with the Bolt but having the Favero Assioma Duo powermeter, I was looking for something that would support the new cycling dynamics. I'm running firmware 4.10 with beta GPS firmware using GPS+GLONASS. HRM dual and Assioma Duo are connected via ant+. Smartphone is a Pixel 3 XL.
I had absolutely no problems - not with the ant+ connection, not with syncing, to Garmin connect app, not with GPS. I did a ride without course - actually, I was doing laps in a park and still got notifications about turns. Standing/seating recognition worked fine. Suggestion to drink and eat worked too. And the elevation profile is fine too
All in all, it was a very good first ride and will keep it. Looking forward to my next ride. But not everything is perfect: the display gets dirty very fast and it reflects too much in the sun. And it would be nice if we could sync to services like training peaks without the use of the smartphone.
Note: I have a Fenix 3 - i didn't know that it would record the IAV from Favero seen that the info from dcrainmaker and Favero was, that only the new products from Garmin are supporting it. But it actually recorded it - thought, the standing/seating recognition is not accurate as on the Edge 830. So even if the Fenix 3 would be doing the job too, I will keep the Edge
