Garmin Edge 800 Unboxing / Short Review


This post will mostly be a series of pictures showing my unboxing of my Garmin Edge 800 that I got this week. I decided to upgrade to the 800 from 705 because it allows me more power meter data that can be accessed while you are riding rather than when your are done riding. 

My initial reaction to this Garmin was that the screen is far bigger than the 705 and a lot more vivid in color after turning it on for first time.After playing around with the 800 for a while I was able to come away with a few things that made it stand out over the 705.

1. More data per screen
2. More screens
3. Lap Summary screen

The 705 only allows 6 fields of data per screen compared to the 800 which allows 10. It also allowed the user to have 8 screens when the 705 could only have 3. The final thing that really caught my eye was the lap summary page that showed you your statistics from your laps that you can check while you are riding. This was a feature that was neat to me because it allowed you to see your past averages on your laps so that you can continue to be persistent in your workouts.
