For years I’ve ridden with no cyclometer on my road bike. I ride mostly solo, and being in WV, I generally ride back roads. So I’m really liking Garmin’s rear looking radar, the Varia. Now I need to find a Garmin to go with it.

I’m looking at the Garmin Edge 830 and the Edge 1030. Because the 1030 is on sale, both are priced at $400. Normally I would go with the higher end unit considering they are the same price. But I see quite a bit more negative reviews on the 1030. Also, I know the 830 is a fairly recent product release, not sure how long the 1030 has been out there. I suspect it’s fairly dated, and that’s why it’s on sale. Any input that would help me make a decision would be most appreciated.
