This isn’t micro-USB like your cell phone, but instead more commonly seen a few years ago in devices: The Edge 810 uses a standard mini-USB cable. In addition, there are third party mounts available for the Garmin Edge series, which I’ll dive into at the end of the review.Īlso in the box will be a USB charging cable. Enough to start a small rubber band fight. Within the box you’ll find a small flotilla of quarter-turn mounts and bands.
These mounts and bands have proven themselves as being the industry standard over the last two years, primarily due to how easy they are to move between bikes – and because they just don’t break. This mount is secured via industrial strength rubber bands. Looking at the backside, you’ll find the familiar Garmin Edge quarter-turn mount that’s on all Garmin Edge units these days.

It’s still a full color, resistive touch screen, which means that it works just fine with gloves and the like (unlike your smart phone). The touch screen itself hasn’t changed any from the Edge 800. If you turn it over, you’ll find the USB port (mini-USB), as well as the MicroSD card for loading maps (or to use as additional storage): The bottom-left button is for setting a lap, while the bottom-right button is for starting and stopping an activity (as well as pausing/resuming). On the front of the unit, there are two additional buttons. On the left side, you’ve got the power button, which also controls the light/display options, as well as allows you to access sensor state information such as ANT+ connectivity and smartphone connectivity (as well as weather). Like the 800, this unit features three buttons. In fact, the only visual difference between the two units is the outer case styling has “Edge 810” on it. The Edge 810 looks identical to that of its older sibling, the Edge 800. Of course, I still have all the components and what’s included – so let’s dive into that. So I’ll circle back for a proper unboxing once I’ve got a full retail kit. While I received a final production unit, the unit sent to me for testing did not have the final box with it. So – with that intro, let’s get into things.

Also, because the technology world constantly changes, I try and go back and update these reviews as new features and functionality are added – or if bugs are fixed. But, if I’ve missed something or if you spot something that doesn’t quite jive – just let me know and I’ll be happy to get it all sorted out. I write these reviews because I’m inherently a curious person with a technology background, and thus I try and be as complete as I can. Lastly, at the end of the day keep in mind I’m just like any other regular athlete out there. If you find my review useful, you can use any of the Amazon or Clever Training links from this page to help support future reviews.
Sorta like hiking in wilderness trails – leave only footprints. In the new few weeks I send them back to Garmin and then go out and get my own (to be able to support y’all in the comments section down the road). Is this $499 unit worth the cash though? And are the new features enough to make you want to upgrade? The answer might surprise you.īecause I want to be transparent about my reviews – Garmin sent me a final production Edge 810 unit to test out, though, it’s been running beta and release candidate firmware. I’ve been testing the unit for a while now, and have a pretty good grasp on how well it works and how the new features and functionality pan out.
The Garmin Edge 810 is a cycling GPS with built in mapping navigation that aims to build upon the previous edition of the unit, the Edge 800.
