Garmin Edge 820 Video Leak
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
I'm still happy with my Edge 800. Changing the battery was much easier than I thought. I figured with all these computers on th mkt, I would rather spend my money on a Fenix instead.

THE FUTURE:
The wife was pretty happy with her Edge 800 until it stopped locating satellites. Mde the mistake of replacing it with a 'refurbished' Edge 810 which was nice, but despite updating to latest firmware, the computer locked up/no longer responded to screen touches or button presses on 3 out of 7 rides in the first 2-weeks, including a ride on the trainer with GPS disabled! We are now both riding with an Edge 520 so at this point, no hurry to change if/when Garmin releases an 820 and probably more likely to give the Wahoo ELEMNT a go for the next computer.

Garmin electronics design is kind of bad, any chinese phone manufacture is 1000 better.
Would love to see Edge 500 equaling device with side buttons and similar size. I could allow for a little big bigger device if it would have a similar screen to the 920xt. That including the battery life of a 920xt also.
So many Garmin haters, yet everyone still buys them.
Rear buttons are crazy though, considering how many out front mounts there are, including garmins own.

That is because they really have no competition. Every other possible GPS based Cyclo-computer lacks in one area or another.

That is true. I just use my phone for navigation now and PC8 for bike computer.

Kind of like the current US Presidential candidates, we will individually pick the one that sucks the least.
The Edge Explorer 820 appeared on their product page, then disappeared again (replaced by the 810), but the link still appears to work:

Checking the Garmin site above, the dimensions of the 820 are exactly the same as the 520 including screen size and resolution. It would seem that Garmin has abandoned the 810 form factor. Not sure why they thought to change it rather than have three distinct sizes, maybe, and I am just speculating the 5xx series will get smaller or go away.
DCRainmaker has his review of the 820 online.

I might be sold on the size and what it does.
