So what on earth is an Average Joe Cyclist doing with a Garmin Edge 705 bike computer, you ask? This is a bike computer Lance Armstrong wouldn\u2019t be ashamed of, so why is it on MY bike?<\/p>\n<p>Well, as Maggie puts it, it took a village to buy it. A bunch of my friends got together and bought it for my birthday. I don\u2019t know <strong>HOW<\/strong> they knew this is what I wanted. It\u2019s not like I hinted or anything. Well OK, maybe a few subtle hints. OK, maybe they weren\u2019t all that subtle. OK fine, I emailed my friends URL\u2019s of product reviews of Garmin Edge 705\u2019s, and where to buy Garmin Edge 705\u2019s. And then when no one noticed, I emailed them AGAIN.<\/p>\n<p>So I admit it was hard to look surprised when a Garmin Edge 705 duly showed up on my 50th. The coolest part was it even had all the optional extras: wireless heart rate monitor, a micro SD card with maps of North America, <strong>and<\/strong> ANT + Sport wireless technology cadence meter.<\/p>\n<h4>Overall verdict on the Garmin Edge 705 Bike Computer: AWESOME!<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12023\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12023\" style=\"width: 275px\"

gadget. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00APBMNQ8\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00APBMNQ8&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=avejoecyc0e-20&amp;linkId=LFCH75KZ3RZELTUK\">It\u2019s worth every cent my friends paid<\/a>. Although I have to hasten to add that I am not using it to its fullest potential yet, even though I\u2019ve had it a few weeks now. The Garmin Edge 705 bike computer is like any computer, you can\u2019t use its full potential all at once. It takes time to master it (and no, I\u2018m not being defensive.\u00a0 A bit slow perhaps, but not defensive).<\/p>\n<p>So at this point I\u2019m not yet getting full use out of the maps. And I don\u2019t fully understand all the functions, even though the menus are remarkably easy to navigate. But I\u2019ll get there. And it\u2019s like the gift that keeps on giving \u2013 it just gets better and better the more I learn about it.<\/p>\n<h4>Things I really love about the Garmin Edge 705 Bike Computer<\/h4>\n<p>There are several really cool things about it that I have already discovered. Without a doubt the greatest thing is that the built-in GPS records everything you do: distance, time, cadence, elevation changes \u2013 even calories burned! The calories function is particularly neat \u2013 it\u2019s basically a license to eat!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9621\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9621\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00APBMNR2\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00APBMNR2&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=avejoecyc0e-20&amp;linkId=NWYN7ZJTOTF6C7JN\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9621\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer-review\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer-indexed\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer.indexed.png?fit=150%2C245&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"150,245\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"garmin edge 705 bike computer\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;garmin edge 705 bike computer&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer.indexed.png?fit=150%2C245&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer.indexed.png?fit=150%2C245&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-9621 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer.indexed.png\" alt=\"garmin edge 705 bike computer\" width=\"150\" height=\"245\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9621\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9621\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer-review\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer-indexed\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer.indexed.png?fit=150%2C245&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"150,245\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"garmin edge 705 bike computer\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;garmin edge 705 bike computer&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer.indexed.png?fit=150%2C245&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer.indexed.png?fit=150%2C245&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-9621 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer.indexed.png?resize=150%2C245&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"garmin edge 705 bike computer\" width=\"150\" height=\"245\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> Garmin Edge 705 bike computer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Then when you get home, you can upload your ride to Garmin Connect, and see the full glory of your ride in living color.

We did it in two minutes. But it was pretty much impossible for average people like us to install the cadence meter \u2013 we had to take it to a bike shop for that. And luckily the guy at the bike shop already had one, so he knew what to do. Even for him, it wasn\u2019t easy. But he got it eventually \u2013 thanks Jordi at Different Bikes, for coming to our rescue again!<\/p>\n<h4>One Thing I really do NOT like about the Garmin Edge 705 bike computer<\/h4>\n<p>There is one thing about the Garmin Edge 705 that is almost mind-bogglingly stupid. Say you switch off the unit, and plug it into a power supply to recharge. When you unplug, it will switch itself on, and tell you that the external power source has been removed. I <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">already know this<\/span>, because <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">it was\u00a0me that removed it<\/span>! If you don\u2019t notice that it has sneakily switched itself on, and therefore do not hit enter to acknowledge that you have received this utterly pointless and redundant message, the Garmin Edge 705 will then stay on all night waiting to be acknowledged \u2013 so that in the morning, the entire battery will have been drained, and the thing is totally dead. Whose dumb idea was this?<\/p>\n<h4>One thing that\u2019s a complete MYSTERY about the Garmin Edge 705 bike computer<\/h4>\n<p>Before the Garmin Edge 705 bike computer, I had a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00B04UH7Q\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00B04UH7Q&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=avejoecyc0e-20&amp;linkId=YDGCGDXHNZZBKGK6\"><strong>Polar Heart Rate monitor that cost around $50<\/strong><\/a>. It worked well and was always able to record my heart rate. However, the much more expensive Garmin bike computer\u00a0 CANNOT READ MY HEART RATE. I know my heart is a bit unusual, but it\u2019s not THAT unusual \u2013 after all, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00B04UH7Q\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00B04UH7Q&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=avejoecyc0e-20&amp;linkId=YDGCGDXHNZZBKGK6\"><strong>cheapest Polar monitor<\/strong> <\/a>could pick it up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The Garmin Edge 705 bike computer does not even acknowledge that my heart exists!<\/p>\n<p>I know it\u2019s not broken, because it reads Maggie\u2019s heart rate perfectly, even if she\u2019s on a different bike a few meters away! I am pretty well stymied by this. I could go through the elaborate steps involved in returning the heart rate monitor to Garmin via the Internet and mail, but what would be the point? The new one most likely wouldn\u2019t work anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Why this Garmin Edge 705 bike computer will not read my heart rate is a complete mystery to me. But it really makes me sad that my otherwise perfect bike computer has such a serious flaw. Still, the problem may just be that my heart is unusual in several ways. I have not met anyone else with this problem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Despite this, my overall verdict is that this Garmin Edge 705 bike computer is a winner.<\/strong> The complete package will set you back close to $800 \u2013 but if you can afford it and biking is important to you, <strong>go for it!<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7662\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7662\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00APBMNQ8\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00APBMNQ8&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=avejoecyc0e-20&amp;linkId=LFCH75KZ3RZELTUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7662\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer-review\/garmin-810\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Garmin-810.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"300,300\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Garmin Edge 810\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Garmin Edge 810&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Garmin-810.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Garmin-810.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-7662 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Garmin-810.jpg\" alt=\"Garmin Edge 810 bike computer\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7662\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7662\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-705-bike-computer-review\/garmin-810\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Garmin-810.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"300,300\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Garmin Edge 810\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Garmin Edge 810&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Garmin-810.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Garmin-810.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-7662 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Garmin-810.jpg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Garmin Edge 810 bike computer\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Garmin-810.jpg?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Garmin-810.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> Garmin Edge 810 bike computer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Update:<\/strong> the 705 has been discontinued, although <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001690VC6\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B001690VC6&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=avejoecyc0e-20&amp;linkId=NTXOBN7EIZNA4P6I\">you can still buy them from Amazon<\/a>.
