does it work for cycling - cadence, distance, speed, average speed, elevation etc.

Not yet, but there is a firmware update which will be released "Spring 2014" per Garmin for it to have this ability. You can use it as is for everything but cadence currently.

It does now -- there was a firmware update that gives it "bike" mode last year and you can pair it to bike sensors. Doesn't work as well as a true bike computer like the edge, but does have the basics.

Cadence, no; distance, yes; speed, not really, it will give you pace, which... On a bike is not what your looking for; average speed, no... Ave. pace instead; elevation, yes.

Yes. Its very basic though. Speed, cadence, distance, heart rate (Polar compatible) and gear. The gear indicator is a great feature for maintaining resistance through your training.

Thanks BAN. Yeah I'm a hobbyist when it comes to cycling, so I'm sure the GPS will be able to pick me up on the roads . I know there are apps and such for Android / iPhone that do similar things, but I think this looks like a nice unit.

I used the Bluetooth to connect for heart rate in cyclometer. It worked fine in the past. I just upgraded to cyclemeter elite a few minutes ago and I can't seem to get my heart rate to show up. I'll keep working on it and let u know.

Yes, it continuously records your time, distance, pace, calories burned and heart rate. It calculates elevation as distance above/below sea level (as per the User's Guide)

As far as I know, it has lap time, overall time, transition time (triathlon), and I think it could give you time per activity (running, bike, swimming). What is that you want to measure?

When I bought this device I mistakenly assumed it was a gps device. It is more of a glorified pedometer, so I would say it probably does not track bicycling.

I thought you needed an Ant + device, like one of the garmin bike computers. I paired this with my Garmin 500. I have this on my MTB and the older GC-10 cadence monitor on my road bike. Both bike profiles are in my Garmin 500, and they work just fine. Not sure if you can just use this with an app.

It sure does. Separate sensor on the crank shaft and frame opposite it for cadence. I have my main speed, distance, time etc. attached to the back wheel so that I can use it on a stationary device

I don't bicycle, so I haven't tried it. But it seems as though it should work since the GPS tracks distance based on your position relative to the satellite. As long as you're moving, the distance should register.

Yes. I use it inside on a bike trainer and use the cyclops app Virtual Trainer. The system measures cadence and speed and calculates power.

Sort of. It works for tracking and elevation. However it doesn't come with any topographic or trail maps. You will need to load maps if you intend to use them, which you probably do. There are free maps available to download online. I think the best site is GPS File Depot.

Absolutely. It basically reads two magnets. One attached to a spoke for speed based on the circumference of your wheel. The second one attachs to the crank arm and measures cadence as each time the crank arm magnet passes the cadence sensor. The bike's gearing speeds have nothing to do with it. The 10 is simply Garmin ' model number.

Yes it works just fine for biking using the foot pod. Of course you still need the strap for your heart rate. For overall watch for both running and biking I did fine the font was small and can be hard to read so it takes getting use too. I like to us my phone also and use like Mapmyrun or mapmyride app to compare distance via GPS.

It does but only for distance. It stated all sport but there is only one setting (running). The only thing I don't like about it. I would use my 205 settings for all the different sports; hiking, biking, running etc. so I am missing that feature a bit.

No, this model is the step down. Although it will sync with my bluetooth 4.0 bike computer and show cadence from that, but no altimeter. I didn't get the altimeter model because although it shows you instantaneous gain on a climb or descent, it's not something I would be looking at while working out. When you upload your workouts to the computer it shows your elevation profile which is enough for me.
780703
Yes, it does work with cycling. There are preset programs for cycling along with programs you can taylor yourself. If you want to train by heart rate I'd get a heart rate monitor. I bought that separate. The only thing this watch isn't programed for at this time is swimming. Hope that helps.
