Garmin launches compact Edge 20 and Edge 25 GPS cycling computers + video

Seems kind of funny that the Edge 25 doesn't support power meters.

Looks good apart from the price, which is too high, but that's nothing new for Garmin

The size makes it a decent option for fitting to the forerunner quick release wrist strap, though I'm not sure which way round this puts the display. I would find this handy for occasional hiking and even more occasional running. (edit: maybe this is the solution: https://youtu.be/2sh-bouWeew)

I see a potential (albeit small) market for a charging mount that uses the cradle connection to charge the unit while on the go. Maybe even integrate an extra battery?

Ok, I'm sure these are useful for something Garmin, but can you just update the edge 500 already!

I don't want the 510, the screen is to difficult to see (imagine that), other than perhaps wifi, like you get with some of those wifi enabled SD cards, so I don't have to plug it in to upload.

One other feature, I want to be able to set a speed let's say 30 MPH, so when I hit 30 the screen only displays the speed in a large font until I drop below 30 MPH and the the normal fields are shown.

They look great, especially as I think they (the 25 at least) seems to support turn notifications, which my old 200 didn't.

The battery life is balls for me, though, especially if it can't be charged while mounted. (Are those four contacts on the rear the only interface? Can't quite tell if there's a USB port cover on the top edge.) Bah.

It looks like they've put the guts of the Forerunner 15 (budget watch) into a bike specific package. Even the buttons are in the same position.

I think for the average consumer, the Garmin range is absolutely baffling. Far too many products without enough to differentiate them, we now have the 20, 25, 200, 500, 510, 810, 1000, Touring & Touring Plus.

Tidy but the edge 500 still looks like a better buy for features and battery life.

If you want your family/wife/friends to see where you are. Enable google location on your phone. Really useful, and uses hardly any smartphone battery

No charging on the go, as looks like you won't be able to access the charging port/area (if you can even get an on-bike adaptor) when fitted to the mount.

No mention of a clock either, which is the only thing that the 200 really doesn't have.

Finally, the 25 is on the wish list, although why is it over £100?

P.s the music on that Garmin video it hilarious, I hope they don't think that's what we cycle to.

Lezyne might have to be an option, as after two weeks Garmin still haven't sorted Connect site not being able to upload courses to my device. All they say is they are aware of the problem. Are they trying to trying to make the older devices obsolete?

I take it the mount it's the same as all other Garmins? Front view photo would suggest so.

I've an 810 and love the livetracking (wife gets to see how close to home I am) but its rare I use the mapping while out. this might be an option.

I didn't think the 200 did HR/Speed/Cadence or talk to a smartphone?

When my 705 dies, the 25 is exactly what I'm after next.

Replacements for the 200?

I'd have liked the 20 to have come in at under the £100 price mark.

Garmin site claims 'up to ten hours'. It's a neat and stylish unit. Tempted.

Very neat, but 8hrs battery life is a bit light. I'm guessing it's aimed at riders doing up to about 100 miles tops.
By comparison, the 200 isn't much bigger, is cheaper and good for 14 hrs.
