New Garmin Edge 1000

[Spinnekop]

Looks like a pretty nifty tool.

 

Di2 Integration

Blue Tooth

WiFi

Incoming call and text notification

Standalone speed and cadence sensors.

 

Nice screen

New out front mount.

I also like the fact that it can go horizontal.

 

Here is DC Rainmakers write up on it:

More tablet than a bike computer, however I do like the incoming call and text alert.

And if you sell your bike you can afford it...

Lots of nice to have funtions. Quite big imo, very pricey. Lets hope the technology trickles down to the lower models though.

I actually got my hands on a demo version this weekend past, The features are superb!

The Edge 1000 is the first cycling device that Garmin has introduced call and text notifications on. The unit will display alerts coming from your iOS device (not Android at this time) for incoming calls and texts. This will enable you to see that someone is calling or that a text has arrived, but it will not enable any scenario to answer the call or respond to the text.

Meaning, you can’t just press a button and type a response, or answer the call. That’ll still have to happen within your phone. And, it should be obvious but is worthwhile stating that you must have your phone on your person for these to work. Meaning you won’t get text notifications if you leave your phone at home. This pairing is done via Bluetooth, not magic.

 

Hahaha

Would be nice to have a small iPhone clone screen that syncs with the phone in my pocket and displays Strava or similar - say the size of the old iPod mini.

Doesn't look like it does much more than the 810 bar the Di2 stuff and a few other little bits. For the price ($600 according to Ray Maker) it hardly seems worth it.

Garmin make excellent products.
