I've been waffling about a Garmin 530/830 ever since they came out. My main interests are navigating new (to me) trails and recording ride data. If I go through all the steps to connect a Garmin to my Levo TCU, what bike data will the Garmin *record*.
Sometimes I wear my old Garmin Forerunner 225 watch on rides, which records my route (better than my smartphone), elevation, speed, and heart rate.
With the bike computer, I'd like to record rider power, motor power, assistance mode, bike speed from the wheel, and cadence.
BLEvo is awesome, but many times (such as today), my smartphone screws up even though I have the screen locked. Today I came home from my ride with the flashlight on, the screen set to full dim, WiFi connected (it was not connected at the start of my ride), and no BLEvo ride record. This is with the phone in a zippered bike shorts pocket and the screen locked. It's a Samsung Galaxy s10e FWIW.
