Why do you want the 500 specifically? I just sold my 705 and got a 200

The V650 is out of my price range & the 500 ticks the boxes I want, I'll look at the 200

I got a 200 from eBay and it's brilliant little bit of kit.. Does what I want it to. And more accurate than phone. Also link it up to Strava account for syncing.

I looked at the 500 and you won't get those for under 100 notes on eBay...

Easy peasy to setup.. Just follow the prompts on the screen to setup info.

If like mine it still had all the guys road rides logged in it, so I delegated all that trash and then set up. It really is an easy piece of kit to use. Just annoyed everyone at work with it beeping every time I pressed the buttons lol.

I forgot to add the other holder to my other bike so had to put it in back pack this morning.... Doh.. But it is easy to read the display when moving also.

It connects upto garmin connect site and also you can connect it straight to Strava as well, plug it into PC with cable and away it goes. Battery life is better than my iphone 5 which is quite frankly sh*t at the moment...

Dead easy, top left turns it on, top right gets ready to ride, top right to ride, top right to stop and then bottom right to save.

Connect to USB, connect to Strava/Garmin/Endo & upload.

Simples!
