Minion Posted February 14, 2012 Share The Quarq unit is a Garmin 500 just branded as such.....I remember when they first started, Quarq were planning to create their own, open source head unit. But I think they've now abandoned that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minion Posted February 16, 2012 Share It can use any ANT+ head unit. I've used it with an Edge 705 and 800, a PC with a USB ANT+ dongle and an iPod Touch with the Wahoo ANT+ dongle. If you've got a phone with an ANT+ chip (e.g. most of the Sony Ericsson Xperia range) you can even use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinnekop Posted February 16, 2012 Share Just note that some head units, like the Bryton does ANT+ but does not do Power readings. Don't know of any other though.... Or that is what I have been told Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted February 20, 2012 Share Garmin has announced yet another delay for its much anticipated Vector pedal-based power meter."As with any Garmin product it is always our attempt to ensure that it meets the highest standard of quality—such is the case with Vector," Garmin media relations representative Justin McCarthy told Cyclingnews. "In doing so, it has taken longer than expected. We are 100-percent committed to bringing this highly anticipated power meter to cycling shops around the world and will be doing so this summer." *** Worth waiting for?

'Dale Posted February 20, 2012 Share Sounds worth the wait...*** From cyclingnews. ...Vector will be worth the wait. "The Vector power solution combined with one of Garmin’s Edge cycling computers really will bring cycling to a whole new level," he said. "This pedal-based power meter installs in minutes and easily transfers between bikes. Weighing far less than most other power meters on the market, Vector won’t weigh riders down while accurately measuring cadence and total power, as well as independent left and right leg power."We are thrilled to provide users the opportunity to analyze this robust data through Garmin Connect so they too can take their training to new places," he continued. "Gone will be the days of boring workouts and difficult set up and maintenance. Garmin Vector will indeed be a game changer and we can’t wait until riders have it in their hands and under their feet this summer."
