Seriously considering purchasing a new bike computer. I have always used my smartphone, so I am completely new to this.
After quite some research, I have developed a strong preference towards the Wahoo Elemnt Roam. Mainly it is going to be used for navigating. A device that is userfriendly and quick in use is a must.
The only thing I am unsure about, is that it seems like an old device. It was almost launched two years ago. I cannot seem to find out how frequent new bike computers get launched (like, the iPhone gets a new model every year). And also, if I were to purchase the Roam, for how long it will approximately receive software updates from Wahoo.
Can you guys help me out with some advice?
The Wahoo is a great computer. If you are looking for user-friendly and quick, you are looking for something intuitive and simple...while still providing the data you desire.
More features add complexity and there are other brands out there that have more features..but they are not very intuitive or simple...then there is also the question of how it affects reliability.
If the Wahoo has everything you need....you can't go wrong. If you are looking for gadgets and widgets and things you don't need...then the criteria of user-friendly and simple needs to be re-evaluated.
