Excellent presentation, I was searching all around youtube to see how the live segment is working and you are the only one who did a really in dept review. Based on your review I ordered mine and waiting to arrive. I'm sorry I could not order it from your link to help you out (because of my country), but you earned a subscriber, I hope it compensates. :)
Hey Desfit, to see live Strava tracking do you have to upload specific segments from computer to Garmin or just simply connect Garmin device to Strava?
Connect Strava to Garmin Connect and then you’ll need to make sure you “star” or “favorite” the segments that you want to use in Strava. Also double check in your Garmin device settings that Live Segments are enabled (they usually are by default).
Great review. Garmin products are the best on the market. This device has a small screen, but lots of good information. Great for beginners before upgrading to the 830 or 1040.
@@DesFit hehe i recognized your ride by the quote " pedal damn it" .My dad has a niner just like yours but in light green and black .Take care bro 😂😂😂💪( btw you just earned another subscriber)
Thank you for the video. I been thinking which one should I get the Garmin explore or the 130. After this video I am going to get the 130. I will finally be replacing my polar 450.
Actually the Explore is a phenomenal deal, but it’s big. Super good value for what you get. If size is a concern, you may want to consider the 130 or 520 Plus.
@@smugala88 I'm also using an M450 since more than three years and no issues with the GPS at all. A really good device so far, but it's already outdated in terms of features. That Edge 130 would be a perfect upgrade for me if the battery life would be better. Currently with the M450 I have approx. 15hrs (with 3 connected sensors), so that would be a drawback for me with the130.
Thank you for short but very informative review! Now I know i need 130 for my existing Forerunner and Edge 25 devices. Going to use 130 on road and 25 on indoor track .
thank you so much for the review, bought it right after this video. sadly your amazon affiliate links are outdated and not related to the 130 maybe changing it would be good for you. would have loved to give you a little something back trough my purchase. otherwise stay safe out there... especially know!
Great review! I’ve been contemplating on getting a dedicated bike computer(something small in size). I currently use my Fenix 5+ and it’s been doing great but the bouncing around on the wrist during longer rides starts to bother me due to the weight of the device. Might have to check this one out, thanks!
Ya, wearables aren’t exactly the best thing for cycling and especially mtn biking both for wearability as well as seeing your data while you’re actually riding. This is a great option as it’s rather inexpensive and also has the extended display feature which would work with your 5 Plus. Thanks!

I use the Garmin watch mount for my watch, if you have good sight it is a great solution
Love your videos. So have the Edge 130 plus and only ever have one bike and one computer at a time. Sooo how might I add my current miles into this little guy so I have an "odometer" of sorts like all my previous low tech computers over the years?? So far I been just adding 1240 to the totals. would love to eliminate that frustration. already tried editing fit file etc...
Also noticed you seemed to have it set to GPS+glonass, is that better? I MTB in thick woods in MD. If one is better why does it give us a choice LOL. I've been running just GPS so far and noticed, on MTB, traveling back the same trail , plotted paths wiggle all over.
Great video thank you. Please tell me if you use navigation, can you send the route of a days ride on the Garmin app so you can view it on a better map?
Simple question: on the smaller Edge 25, you can select the lap duration as either 1 mile or 5 miles (or km, I assume). How do you set it on the 130. Mine seems to default to something like 5 miles, but only displays the data every 15 miles! I am sure I hit something incorrectly during set up, but just cannot figure out how to reset it. Thanks- and thanks for a great video...
Hmm, would the extended display feature allow me to display komoot navigation prompts/route on the edge 130, or would I have to basically record the activity on the watch while using the edge 130 in parallel for komoot?
Thank you for the review. I bought this device, and my GPS is not as accurate. It appears to be a delay. I have it set on GPS +Gallieo. Also it's really hard to see while riding. thinking about upgrading to a bigger size. What do you have your GPS set on?
Hello, just thinking about buying 130. And have a question, maybe you can help me in that. If you start and finish ride at Edge 130 (standalone, not as extended display) - is it also visibe (this ride) at the activities list in eg. Garmin Fenix? Ofc after sync via Garmin Connect - also all other stats eg. VO2max or recoery time....
What the hell another question. I have the speed sensor, does the computer use a combination of satellite and sensor, just one or only sensor when GPS gaps etc.. etc...
Great review! Thanks!! Thinking of getting one after watching your review. Just like to know if edge 130 compatible with my old Polar H7 HR sensor which is Bluetooth smart?
really struggling to get strava live segments on device ? Been on Strava, synced it all up , have a premium membership etc just did a ride on a planned route from Garmin and didnt show any Strava Segments ....anoying as thats why I bought the Garmin 130 !
I have a road bike and mountain bike, can you select or tell the Garmin wich bike you are riding so that you can save or know your total time ride, distance etc of each bike?
I have an old 510 which I have used and enjoyed. Recently I got a Fenix 5 watch and now finding I wish my 510 had some of those features. Would getting this be like the perfect upgrade to replace the 510 and get the features of the Fenix 5?
Garmin devices are good but too expensive especially as they aren't Beidou capable making them realy poor at fixing satellites before you ride (here in Asia). Very annoying.
I've been trying to find a good review of this device of someone who uses it outside of cellphone coverage. It has so many features, but do any of them work when your cellphone doesn't have a signal? For instance, the contact emergency poeople thing. Does this work when your phone doesn't have a signal? If not, then whats even the point of it. Seems way easier to just use my phone for that... kind of a solution looking for a problem if you ask me. I do a lot of my rides outside of cellphone signal coverage and I would really appreciate a detailed review of this product from that standpoint. Could make a great video... I'm sure lots of people have the same questions. Thanks!
Hi! thanks for the review. is it possible to know the distance and the slope of a mountain? if we upload a track. or is it only possible on the 130 plus?
Ok... I got given one of these, still boxed... I'm not interested in the weather, altitude I've smashed , heart rate, phone alerts, calories, if I need a drink, ride history, I may be interested in a heads up map as I go along...ah but it doesn't do that does it? Anyone wanted to buy a Garmin 130 mtb? 🙄
Good that you mention it, I need something to direct me along .gpx routes that I've downloaded. All the other functions are not of any interest. So this can't do that ?
130 pound for b/w screen omg for this price you can get laptop or mobile with is more worth than this toy should cost 30-35 not 130 !!! people wake up !
