Thinking of buying a cycling computer. Looking at the Karoo 2 (£359) and the Garmin 1030 Plus (£389).
From what I have seen the Garmin is probably the better on features as is today, but the Karoo 2 is nearly there and is much more frequently updated. Also like the fact the Karoo 2 is Android based and I can sideload onto it as well for additional functionality should I want to.
Anyone got experience of both? Is the 1030 Plus really worth the extra money? Does the Karoo 2 really get new features and likely to be the most future proofed.
I already have the DuoTrap S speed and cadence sensors on the bike, and use my watch (WearOS) as a HRM at the moment if that makes a difference.
Head is currently leaning towards the Karoo 2.
