It's just a shame Garmin SA charge triple the price of amazon UK or US

What price is it going for on Amazon? For the current 130.

Pricing I see is 199USD or 171GBP which equals 3400ZAR. Sportsman’s Warehouse sells for 3500.

I see DC Rainmaker says they have added crash detection to the plus, but I'm 99% sure my normal 130 has crash detection already.

Amazon.co.uk £99 Sports W/house R3500.

Forget that the exchange rate went over 20:1 recently. I bought my 520 when it was 16:1 for the same ratio.

Either way, the exchange rate is not 35:1 (for now!!!)

No, 130 doesn't have an accelerometer

but in the Garmin Connect app it lets me setup incident detection, I still recall reading about this feature when I got the device.

 

Let me see if I can find some info on it, maybe its just not as advanced as on the plus
