I have a Garmin forerunner 405CX which I bought for running but I have now also bought an Edge 500 for cycling because the 405CX battery life is too short for my long cycles.
Cop this :
A 75 mile cycle on the 405CX (battery died at 75 miles) with HR monitor estimates 3439 calories
A 100 mile cycle on the Edge 500 with HR monitor registers only 2700 calories.
I checked the user profile in the Edge and it was wrong even though I thought I'd set it correctly (showed my age as 41, 150 lbs....I'm 37 143 lbs). Even so, 25 miles more but 700 calories less ???
One other thing about the Edge 500. My odomoeter for my bike profile is still reading zero after several rides.
Very frustrating, can anyone help please ???
