I will be buying a Garmin Edge 1000 bundle at the end of October. A few quick questions to people who have these:
1. Battery life seems to be a problem (from what I've read, but many of the comments are old comments ) .... How long does the battery keep charge? (I'm planning on doing some longer rides in Spring next year ... i.e. 200km which I'm hoping to do in approx 8-10hrs (depending on wind and hills) .... I will not have my phone connected to the Garmin, but will have the cadence, speed and heart rate monitor connected
2. Frozen screen.... I've read that sometimes the Edge 1000 freezes during a ride (has this been fixed with the latest software updates?)
3. Any other problems with the Garmin Edge 1000 that existing users are finding?
4. I'm also seriously thinking of getting the Garmin Varia Radar aswell.... any comments from existing users, or is it just an expensive gimmic?
5. I may also get the Garmin Varia Vision gadget in December, but I will need to demo one first as I'm not sure if I will be comfortable with it connected to my sunglasses..... anyone on this forum using one?
