Anybody spring for one of these...?
Interesting and cool looking GPS. Little bit pricey, IMHO. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ps-speedometer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"The numbers you need [except...]" ummm.. cadence and power? It looks cool, but for $500 it would be nice to be able to do intervals.

Re: the power. I emailed them and asked if they had any plans to incorporate those readings in the future.

its a nice looking piece for sure...just looks out of place on a bike somehow, i guess because im so conditioned to seeing something digital there instead...the 24hr battery life is nice.

Why do people spend thousands on a nice analogue wristwatch when I can get a digital one for $10 at cvs that has a calculator built in? Last edited by eBAUMANN; 04-05-2016 at 02:42 PM. |

Me too. Even if they do add power, and coach says hold 300w for x (very few for me) minutes - I'm not sure I'd be able to focus on a little tick mark when it gets difficult. Cool idea just not for me.

Being a reformed mechanical watch guy, I love the look, but the price seems a bit out of proportion to features.
I'd rather not know when I'm riding anyways. I like to just go back and look later. When I did ride with a computer, I found that I had trained my eye to see the speed only, and would purposely ignore the distance until after the ride. I would get pissed if I actually saw the distance by mistake. Weird, I know. And I don't ever want to see my power output....how humiliating.

Is the vertical ascent feature going to be all that accurate? I thought GPS wasn't too good at measuring elevation changes. Has something changed?

Sorry, but no thanks. I ruthlessly bought a garmin for much cheaper that is about 20,000 times less obnoxious, safer, and more technologically advanced, ruthlessly. I ruthlessly don't need this thing, and ruthlessly loathe flowery word salads. I heard the "No Garmin, No Rules" crowd loves this thing...yeah...makes total sense.

It would look great on a titanium fixie.

Looks great, and while I like my analog watch and the aesthetics of analog dials, I think a Garmin for the same price is going to be much more functional. That said, it's real pretty for sure.

I think it looks great - a stylish and useful piece for somebody who doesn't want all the bells and whistles of a Garmin. Asking this to do power, cadence, modular units, intervals, and other things is like trying to re-invent the Spork when sometimes you just need EITHER a spoon or a fork.

Passionately, ruthlessly crappy copy. Blech. This company could benefit from a copywriter.

I'm not sure that it's not a solution in search of a problem. It may have success as niche product, but at that price I hardly think it'll be mass market.
They postulate that digital readouts confuse, but I won't buy that, either.
