The HRM 200 meets the AU requirements by requiring a "tool" to open the battery compartment. The "tool" in this case though, is not a…

The newer HRM 200 is a small bump to a lower model, and not a replacement/upgrade to the HRM Pro. In addition to heartrate metrics, the Pro…

Yeah, I believe that's the prevailing theory: water/sweat ingress after the battery compartment seal is affected by a couple of battery…

Agreed re the battery, which was I got the HRM Pro Plus... but you have to import that one, because Garmin is not allowed to sell it in…

Well, the Ethernet port is sort-of new (you could add Ethernet via USB previously). To me, the only real new feature (apart from presumably…

I can't make a fair comparison, because my machine is better dialed in, and I go through the beans quick enough that they're always pretty…

I agree with most of what you wrote, but this has me curious: > the longer warm up times than something like a dual boiler I have this…

Nah, the third pin is for earthing, not grounding - sometimes they are the same thing, but not in a USB power supply like this. As…

Garmin Edge 540 Solar Bike Computer $549 (RRP $749) Delivered @ Garmin
Hi all, I'm not seeing this listed anywhere else, nor announced anywhere, but Garmin seems to be quietly discounting their Edge 540 Solar…

Yes, this. The plug comes in two versions: Homekit and Matter. Only the Homekit version is on special (at the above link), the Matter…

"HD" is just part Google's product naming... there's two versions currently: * Chromecast with Google TV (HD) * Chromecast with Google TV…
