www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/11/1st-hands-on-ride-with-brim-brothers-zone-cleat-based-power-meter.html

I was glad that they were fine letting me use my own ANT+ recording devices (a Garmin Edge 800 and Garmin Edge 500) to record the data streams from the power meter, which I’ve included below (and raw files at the end). … Many power meter compatible analysis platforms now show this data, such as Garmin Connect, Golden Cheetah, or Training Peaks.

Hands-on with Polar’s new M450 GPS cycling computer

www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/06/polars-cycling-computer.html

Starting with the outside, the unit is slightly bigger (length) than the iconic Garmin Edge 500, yet comparable in width. … In doing so, they’ve also quite likely just upended Garmin with a unit that quite frankly kicks ass (at least based on my limited testing of it).

With a firmware and app update released today, the Wahoo cycling computers now show proper live tracking information to friends and family, and even give some pretty unique and cool features that Garmin (who is basically the only other bike computer with this capability) doesn’t have. … Which doesn’t take away from Garmin doing frequent almost monthly Edge series updates as well.

Yet Stages can overcome some of those limitations by the differentiation it has with dual ANT+/Bluetooth Smart sensor support (no Garmin Edge devices have this), as well as the advanced structured workout support (that Wahoo doesn’t have). … The main thing here is just how much more space a coach (or yourself) has for instructions compared to the Garmin devices.

www.dcrainmaker.com/2023/11/coros-depth-review.html
