Works precisely, no GPS dependence. Simple and effective

- Jacques, 12 September, 2025

Does what it should; only displaying the speed on GPS sometimes works poorly, especially when driving under trees or between (tall) buildings. This speedometer doesn't suffer from all that. Mounting it is easy with the strap, connect it to your bike computer and you're done. Simple and effective

Pros & Cons

Simple
Simple connection
Expensive

Good sensor, connectivity could be better.

- Jan, 8 August, 2025

This Garmin speed sensor attaches well. I even managed to attach it to a Rohloff hub with some inventiveness. Connectivity is a tricky little thing, but bluetooth tends to be that way. I made many futile attempts before finally managing to pair the sensor with a Garmin app on my mobile. Then the sensor works fine.

Very satisfied with this accurate, small and easy-to-install sensor!

- Daan, 2 September, 2024

Great sensor! You can pair this Garmin sensor with your navigation box via the app or the device itself, after which it will automatically start transmitting measurements. To accurately measure speed, you can set the wheel size via the app. This is the most accurate. Alternatively, you can cycle a given distance which then uses GPS to measure how fast you cycled, after which the wheel size is calculated. I recommend setting it via the wheel size (shown on your tyre, or via conversion table on the internet). The measurements are very accurate: I checked this with GPS trackers on 2 phones, and 2 different speed sensors set to wheel size from other brands. In all cases, the variation between all measurements was

Compact and convenient

- Vince, 6 January, 2021

I bought this speedometer because I recently started cycling and want to be able to clearly see what speeds I am traveling. It does that perfectly! At first I had some trouble figuring out how to connect it with my smartphone and Garmin Venu sq. After some searching, I found it and it does it just fine. You have to make sure you adjust the units of measure, I didn't do that in the beginning and that caused some funny moments, it would indicate that you were only going 15 per hour while I was cycling like crazy. I also use it for Zwift and it does a great job! Top thing!

Can be used for Zwift
Compact
Handy
Unobtrusive

Does not work as expected.

- Martin, 10 November, 2020

The description states "Also linkable to other brands of bike computers ". Unfortunately, this is not true. On Polar's V650, it does not work properly. It measures the speed and then jumps to half speed or 0. This changes every time.

Pros & Cons

Nice and small
Quickly installed
Does not work properly on the Polar V650

Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Gives much more accurate values for speed and distance traveled. Do manually enter the wheel circumference though; the auto calibration is inaccurate. Easy to mount and pair with your Garmin Edge.
