Plus a few other odds and ends I outline down below in the next section. And in a planned near-term firmware update it’ll have smart trainer compatibility soon too (for controlling your smart trainer). Specifically, it adds in structured workout support, Garmin’s ClimbPro for tracking painful ascents, mountain bike metrics, and incident (crash) detection. The Edge 130 Plus takes that initial package and adds a handful of new features for people that want more out of it. Still, it probably needed some tweaking…thus, the Edge 130 Plus. Yet, it was still an incredibly capable unit in an incredibly small package if your expectations were aligned to the device’s intentions. Not to mention some initial confusion on battery life. ![]() It lacked any of the advanced workout features and related functions that people expected from a mid-range (or higher) computer. While I don’t think that confusion was understood by Garmin initially, consumers presumed it was basically a mini-Edge 500. When the Edge 130 came out a bit over two years ago, I think there was general confusion on where it fit in the Garmin lineup.
