I've got a pretty new Edge 200. do i have to worry about this thing if i ride in the rain, or is pretty water tight?

Can't help you with your question, but will you post your impressions (pros/cons) after you get in a few rides -

If the 200 is like my 500, you won't have issues riding in heavy rain. Make sure the bung is in place over the USB port.

Might be apples and oranges, but my 305 lets water in during extended showers. When I go out in the wet, I cover it with a sandwich baggie rubber-banded in place. It's ghetto but it works very well.

i just did quite a bit of riding with it. i'm a fan. if you dont need the ant+ capabilities or the other stuff the 500 gets you, this is a good basic computer for easy upload to garmin connect, strava, etc - great for sharing and logging rides.

i think it shares the outer case with the 500, totally different than the older 305 model. thanks for the tips guys.
