Overview

Garmin built the Edge 820 as a small capacitive touchscreen bike computer for racing and training. It tracks speed and distance by GPS, adds an altimeter reading and connects over Bluetooth, ANT+ and Wi-Fi.

Performance metrics such as recovery advice and cycling dynamics suit riders who train with data, and the Varia radar support adds traffic awareness. The listing gives no map detail beyond road, and the update support is unknown, so the age of the model matters.

Who it's for

Competitive cyclists who track training and want turn by turn directions on the bike. Casual riders after basic speed readings, or anyone wanting a wrist worn device, need something simpler.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Capacitive touchscreen display
  • Works with Varia radar and lights
  • Pairs with Vector power meters
  • Mount options included
Cons
  • Road map type only listed
  • Software update support unknown
  • Older 2017 model year

Performance notes

GPS and an altimeter supply speed, distance and elevation, and Bluetooth or ANT+ sensors add power and heart data for the training metrics. Battery life depends on screen use and connected sensors, so long rides with radar and navigation draw it down faster.
