Garmin Edge 830

handy but not very accessible to use figure out

Pros & Cons

Easy to read

Pros & Cons

Quick commissioning with immediate sensor recognition. The mounts, with or without a bar, are reliable, nothing wobbles! A metal mount would be more helpful, as these can be damaged more quickly in the event of a fall. Data such as temperatures and altitude are consistent. All in all, the purchase was at a fair price!

The most important purchase criterion was actually the stated battery life. It seems that this can actually be achieved. After several other navigation devices, the Edge 830 immediately convinces in all respects! It is quite annoying when the navigation device gives up far too early on longer tours with the racing bike because the battery is empty (previously 100 % charged!). Yes, of course you can take a power bank with you, but what else do you have to carry around.....? Here, the rider is sure to give up first before the navigation system gives up!

Fully meets expectations. Many additional functions, not yet used

Pros & Cons

The Edge 830 is the replacement for my Edge 705 which I used gratefully from 2008. A world of difference and for my activities. Heart rate and candance meter (ANT) found instantly. Used on Race, ATB and E-bike. Of course it takes some getting used to all the newer applications. Fun to discover. Also bought one for my wife and she too is happy with it.

Pros & Cons

Very handy, clearly visible, easy connection with phone the only thing is that if you go off route it takes a while for it to re-route

Pros & Cons

Long hesitated to buy one. Should have done much earlier. separate keeps track of everything you want to read and makes cycling even more fun. nice screen easy with touchscreen.

Pros & Cons

Have only been using the Garmin Edge830 for a short time, but compared to the Garmin Edge1000 it's a great device with cool new features.

It's a fine thing and you can do a lot with it. But it takes some effort to master it. The menu and buttons take a while to figure out. I'm pretty handy with devices, but I didn't drive off with it in one go. It comes with two good mounts to put it on your bike, but no protective case.

Pros & Cons

i first had a garmin 520 plus but due to the buttons no longer working properly i decided to buy a garmin 830 the best purchase of this year so far i myself wear glasses on sharpness and very strong sharpness in the reviews it said maybe what a small screen for the less sighted i myself don't suffer from that while i cycle with an oakley without strength short keep a FANTASTIC product, the delivery was perfect I ordered it a few seconds after 10 p.m. and it still arrived the next day only a pity the delivery time was in the evening but that's something mantle can't do anything about it

Pros & Cons

Had the 820 before this did not last very long. This one just keeps going. Truly a top notch device. So good that I can dissuade anyone from buying a more expensive version. The 830 is already top more you really don't need.

Pros & Cons

In use for 3 weeks now. What a wealth such a beautiful device. Especially the long battery life.

Pros & Cons

Meets my expectations

Pros & Cons

De Garmin Edge 830 heb ik gekocht op aanraden van vrienden en familie.

Pros & Cons

Quite an upgrade from the 820. It is more responsive and smooth. Easy to use. Super many different options. You might get lost in this.

Pros & Cons

Very easy to install.

Pros & Cons

bought it back after theft so guess this says enough about what I think about the product can do an incredible amount with it and is also good on the rollers

Tricky to fathom at first. Nice to save your route and see where you've been

Pros & Cons

Very nice bike computer to perform my workouts with. Shows the route clearly, climbpro. Clear screen and very good battery life. Also the integration with Strava is ideal. Even before I get in, my ride is already uploaded to Garmin and directly to Strava.

Pros & Cons

Very nice product, quite an improvement over my previous Dakota 20. Pairing with fenix 6 took some searching on some forums but worked out. Otherwise you have 2 activities from both devices. Also setting up navigation or using gpx is much easier than before. Still want to buy the rear light with radar extension, that seems to be a safe easy option.

Pros & Cons

Great ease of operation. Easy to save routes from Garmin- Connect. Much better than its predecessor. Had the 810 and 820 before this. Easy data transfer from old device.

Pros & Cons

Compact and many features. Easy to build out from the base

Pros & Cons

Technically a lot is possible if you know the possibilities. Too bad no clear possibilities are shown step by step. Trust came on horseback and comes back on foot. Such a beautiful product immediately loses appeal in the initial phase. For that reason I still use good overview maps on paper.

great bike navigation and good software. very compatible with other devices and software.

Pros & Cons

I find it a very nice navigation system. First I used the edge 800 and now I have this one a few generations later. Works very user friendly, had to search a bit to turn off some automatic notifications but logical thinking and they are off in no time. Made a few trips and haven't had to recharge yet.

Pros & Cons

Werkt geweldig in gebruik, zeer gemakkelijk te koppelen en af te lezen. Echt fijne toevoeging aan mijn mtb en racefiets routines.

Pros & Cons

Previously used the 810 and very satisfied with it. Doubting between this 830 and the 1030. Price difference made me choose the 830. Screen is big enough for me and very bright. Battery life with the right settings is more than enough for a very long day on the bike. The three preset profiles Race, MTB and Gravel are also very handy. Preset maps are also very satisfactory.

Pros & Cons

A fantastic Garmin, does what it is supposed to do. I had the Edge Explorer before and this Garmin is so much better and faster. The battery lasts at least 15 - 20 hours! Made 4 long rides of +4 hours and still had 32% battery left. The navigation is fast and if you bike wrong then the route is reset in seconds. A minus point of this garmin could be for some people that the screen is a bit small. i myself do not experience this as a minus point because it is easy to read. but maybe for some people it is on the small side.

Pros & Cons

I bought this device to follow multi-day routes and to navigate to a poi (e.g. a hotel) in between. However as soon as you deviate from a route and want to pick it up again further on, it sends you back to the point where you left the route for a long time or it recalculates a new route to your end point. This has been complained about a lot on the forum and it seems to be fixed in the 1030plus but not in the 830. Also, the readability is substandard. I regret this purchase, a smartphone with a power bank works much better: there are legion of apps that do it better.

Pros & Cons

All in all a fine device that does what you expect for such a price. Would buy it again. Navigates very accurately, the software could only be clearer if you have 2 turns in quick succession. The 2nd turn is not indicated on the first and you run the risk of missing the 2nd turn because the system has to finish the 1st turn. This is especially if you cycle on data screen. If you cycle on map, there is no such problem. Then you can just see the sequel.

Pros & Cons

Device meets all me expectation. Best Garmin device of all devices so far.

Pros & Cons

Bike rides on road bike. Good interface with heart rate monitor. Nice touch screen operation. Quickly calculates a new route if you want to ride differently than planned. For planning routes I use the Komoot app. Works better for cycling than Garmin's own route planner and Connect app.

Pros & Cons

After several years of working with a Polar V650 and A370, I was completely fed up with the software and sync problems that occurred regularly after updates. After some searching I finally found the Edge 830. So many possibilities that it takes some time to figure it all out, but in the end it is all very logical and it works without a hitch. Starting a ride is easy and informing the home front also works perfectly! Eventually I bought the Garmin speed and cadence sensors because they are very easy to transfer to another bike, and you can simply replace the battery if necessary. Then I also switched to a smarttracker, the Vivosmart 4 by Garmin, because I can control everything in one app. I am very happy with this switch!

Pros & Cons

I was completely new to Garmin so I did spend a few hours fiddling to understand the logic of them. In combination with your computer (phone) this is good to do further but before you cycle away so dive in a bit. Once on the road Garmin shows its value well and you can navigate fine and or track your progress well. I have no idea how other navigation systems solve this but if you deviate from the route the solutions are not always convenient but could also be my inexperience.

Pros & Cons

Top device with long battery life.

Pros & Cons

I hesitated over the Garmin 830 or the Yahoo Roam when purchasing. Finally chose the Garmin because of good test results, especially when it comes to navigation qualities. Uploading routes via Garmin connect is fine. I do not create my routes in the Garmin connect, because too user unfriendly. I recommend Komoot to everyone. Simple and logical. Garmin often makes strange suggestions, especially if you let Garmin plan a random round trip. You are presented with many major roads with bike paths, while there are dozens of alternatives with quiet roads. What I find particularly disturbing is that after driving the wrong way, Garmin always wants to drive back, while very often the route can be picked up a little further on. And before it finds the route again, it takes a long time. And this while its speed was praised! Many people find the menu structure user-friendly. I find it far from that. This is my second Garmin (previously I had an 810), but Yahoo really does it better. In conclusion: Of course the device does a lot of things right and I certainly enjoy it. But sometimes it does incomprehensible things and I find it not really user friendly. Not good enough for a leading brand, especially considering the price, as Garmins are the most expensive in this segment. I give it a barely satisfactory rating.

Pros & Cons

Great ease of operation. Easy to save routes from Garmin- Connect.

Pros & Cons

Much better than its predecessor. Easy data transfer from old device

Pros & Cons

I first had the edge 1000. Unfortunately ended up in the washing machine. Now a model smaller and went for the 830. Works a lot faster, more options and better battery life. I wouldn't go for the cheaper one without touch. There is no navigation on those.

Pros & Cons

helemal top

Pros & Cons

Very poor navigation. Not to be used. Have been biked wrong many times, misdirected etc. Just quits sometimes, takes forever to recalculate. Fine thing for mee data. Navigation is really completely worthless.

Great how Garmin continues to evolve. This bike computer has about the same features as high-end training watches. The integration of, for example, Strava segments, training goals and synchronization with wifi/bluetooth are also commendable. The navigation functions are 10 years behind. Unbelievably how bad. The bottom line is that you can only pre-load a route or enter one end point. - During the ride deviate from your route with an additional 'via' point? Impossible - Creating a new route during your ride via a particular route? Impossible. - Adjust routing criteria? Hardly - Adjust sound notifications? Impossible, it is unnecessary noise or nothing. - Adjust detail level of maps? Impossible I have been riding with a smartphone in a drybag on the handlebars with OSMAnd navigation on it for 10 years. That had better features 10 years ago.

Pros & Cons

Previously had a Garmin Edge 1000. Now bought the Edge 830 touchscreen. Found the Edge 1030 too expensive because all features relevant to me are also on the 830 touchscreen. Bought the touchscreen version because the navigation capabilities are more extensive than the 830 without touchscreen. Navigating back to route works very quickly. The Edge 830 navigates faster than the 1000 and has more features. The screen is slightly smaller than the 1000 but this does not seem to be a problem in practice. The battery lasts longer than that of the 1000.

Pros & Cons

Removed all other counters on road bike and mtb. Garmin is all in.

Pros & Cons

Faster and better than my (also already good) 820

Pros & Cons

Have switched from Garmin edge 1000 after 6 yr. Same positive experience , but with the speed of today. Very satisfied with purchase

Pros & Cons

Super handy for my training plans from Trainingspeaks . Trouble-free pairing with the powermeters of both my bikes. Uploading data is fast. I haven't tried everything in terms of routes, etc. yet.

Pros & Cons

Nice product, elevation profiles are super. At first a little hassle with syncing with Strava but eventually runs perfectly. Live segments don't come through very well yet (or I don't know how), but of course you need a paid Strava subscription for this too. All in all nice thing, quite pricey but for now worth the money for the cyclist who doesn't cycle the same lap every day.

Pros & Cons

I see very few plus points. Also too expensive for this navigation. It can be made better and also understandable. I also haven't been able to do much with it yet. Can't plot routes on it myself either. Too bad for my money. I do not recommend this one. bad buy.

Pros & Cons

For me as a 73 year old easy to set up and also easy to use

Pros & Cons

Owned this Garmin since last May. It gives nice performance statistics and training options. Battery life is also fine. I once cycled 200km in 8 hours (screen light low) and I still had plenty of battery left. Drawbacks in my opinion: - map display: I expected to see well which villages I would cycle to or where I would be. This is definitely not the case. In fact, you don't see any of that. Was very disappointing to me. Google maps is much nicer and more informative. - The navigation doesn't make any sense. You can choose all kinds of options, but even then the garmin sends you with a weird detour via the craziest roads. Also recalculating the route is not useful. Most of the time it just sends you back. That does not work fine. Accidentally now downloaded Openfietsmap as a free map and put it on the Garmin. Now villages etc. are suddenly nicely visible. This map is much better! And I just tested it: navigation is now also normal, via fine bike paths in a reasonably straight line. Just as Google Maps would send you, more or less. This is definitely recommended!

Pros & Cons

For the purpose why I bought this computer I am not yet fully read in...namely finding routers and such. Useful would be an online course or so there are heeeeeuuuul veuuuuuuul option on it.

Pros & Cons

Really an improvement on the Edge 820. Better touch screen, way better battery life. Faster menu, clearer and sharper image.

Pros & Cons

Garmin is a top thing. If you are hesitating between the 530 and to 830 because the 830 can create its own routes I would go with a 530 and a subscription to Komoot. The routes that roll out of the Garmin make no sense....

Pros & Cons

Bought as an upgrade from the 820, mainly for the better battery. But the faster navigation is also welcome. Otherwise a good and familiar Garmin product.

Pros & Cons

I have owned this one for two weeks now. I pair it for heart rate with my Garmin forerunner 245. The device is very user friendly and has nice features. Especially letting it plan a route by itself is nice. The accuracy is fine on the first rides, even when used for mountain biking.

Pros & Cons

Huge improvement over the 820. Much faster and clearer image.

Pros & Cons

Quick software updated, easy installation convenient operation while cycling

Pros & Cons

Very easy to use,easy to fix yourself, batteries super

Pros & Cons

Great step in technology to collect due to. the Edge really does keep track of everything. Only when having random routes created, the nice mountain bike trails are skipped and it quickly becomes a gravel ride.

Pros & Cons

Perfectly meets my expectations Precise GPS and home trainer compatibility Long autonomy

Pros & Cons

First ordered the 530, but this one is a lot more user-friendly.

Pros & Cons

After a very disappointing Garmin Edge Explore which was really empty after 3 hours of cycling, I was able to exchange it for the 830 with an additional payment. First of all compliments for the very good service from Mantel. The 830 is in 1 word great, super fast and very easy to set up. I have now also connected the cardans, speed sensor and heart rate monitor. This completes it!

Pros & Cons

Top product, did watch some youtube instructional videos to get familiar with the menu.

Pros & Cons

Easy to use, download errors quickly fixed.

Pros & Cons

the 830 certainly meets my expectations. I do experience problems to see cell phone messages in popup screen on gsp. may be a private problem, with other users this works well

Pros & Cons

Fast and very many features compared to the Garmin 800 which, by the way, I enjoyed for 9 years without problems

Pros & Cons

With this navigator, I can plan routes in advance and train in a more focused way!

Pros & Cons

Made the switch from edge 1000 to the egde 830 the size suits me very well screen is clear and bright and nice new features.

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied with the Garmin Edge 830. The navigation works very accurately, is easy to set up and what I am especially satisfied with is the quick recalculation of the route if you are wrong. In addition, super many handy features (back-to-start, suprise-me; climb pro, etc) and with the Garmin Connect App everything is very easy to set up. A must for me is the touchscreen that even with rain it just acts like it's dry. (I didn't expect this) Am now saving up for the sensors because it is just even more of a pleasure to get on the bike!

Pros & Cons

The Garmin 830 is versatile, clear, fast and an inspiring assistant on the handlebars. The touch screen, map files and color sharpness and the speed at which the GPS tracks your movement don't take you by surprise. There is plenty of time to pay attention to the road and its -users. The Garmin brings you safely through your route or to the specified destination. A fine step forward compared to the 810 and 820.

Pros & Cons

Fine accurate navigation, indicates turns with beeps so you don't have to look at your screen all the time. The surprise me function is nice and it is also easy to create routes yourself with the garmin app. The climb pro function is very useful when cycling in the mountains. There are many more functions available. I think it is a good device and I am very happy with it.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Processor is fast and touch screen a breath of fresh air!

Pros & Cons

Responsive much faster than my old Garmin 800. Bright easy-to-read screen

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Bought the Edge 830 as a replacement for the 800. Clearly noticeable that big steps have been made, design is more compact, screen is nicer and works much better. Synchronization with the phone is perfect and the amount of data is much greater than the 800, GPS is quickly found. Incident detection is also very nice, you hope never to have to use it but an automatic SMS in case of a crash is a nice idea.

Pros & Cons

Nice bike computer that does what it promises. Everything runs smoothly and the navigation is top notch. Also the handlebar mount included is top! Just wondering how the touchscreen works in the rain.

Pros & Cons

Had the Edge 810 before this. This one has a much better battery and navigates just a bit better. Would have expected a little more development after all these years but the good things have remained.

Pros & Cons

Used for bicycle trip The Hague - Porto: great GPS with clear directions, good battery life and easy to read. Alternative routes are immediately indicated. Downloading cycling routes is simple and clear. Silicone case also proves its usefulness against drops and scratches. Makes the cycling vacation so much more enjoyable!

The Garmin 830 starts up nice and fast and is nice and small, but with a good screen. Saved routes are easy to find and easy to follow on the bike. You have to get used to all the features it has. Unfortunately, the Garmin App is currently down and the statistics are not available. Otherwise, this device received a 9.

Pros & Cons

Fast prosecor, compact device when compared to my previous device 1000.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Have used Garmin Edge 810 for last six years and afte over 70,000km decided to upgrade. The 830 is excellent with screen size and battery life after 100km spin only 10% of battery used.
