Fantasic peace of kit .

 

Had mine since Dec 11.

 

Done the new software upgrade recently and love it .

 

I use strava to down load mine too .

 

justt to add, i have used Polar for years and Suunto and this Edge 500 is to me the way to go.

Tell me why you love the 800 even more... Twist my rubber arm

 

Richard it's probably just a personal thing.

The main difference is that you can load maps on the 800.

But the main reason I love the 800 is because it can display 10 different (500 displays 8) pieces of info on 1 screen and that it has a touch screen ( I used to battle a bit with the buttons on the 500).

With the new software you can also setup 5 different bikes, not sure how many can be setup on the 500.

 

Maybe the only disadvantage is that the 800 is bigger/bulkier.

Hi Hubbers

 

Need some help with Garmin 500...

 

So i just recently got this unit and so far extremely satisfied.

However, when I changed my Heart Rate from BPM to % it doesnt display anything.. The field is blank.

It only seems to work when I have it on BPM

 

Can anyone please help or explain why it's doing this.

anyone know if you can get pace or minutes per km on the 500?
