After having my bolt now for a couple months of use, this is still by far the best bike GPS computer I have owned. Wahoo has me as a life long customer if they can keep putting out a great product like this one in the future.

Love mine as well. A little frustrated that every time the firmware updates I have to unpair/forget/repair in order to get my notifications back. Hope they fix that...

I came from the 820 and could not be happier. The screen on the 820 was garbage. The touchscreen lagged, scratched easily and was hard to read sometimes. The wahoo is much much better.
The only thing I do prefer with my old Garmin was the vocal turn by turn directions if you had headphones connected. I sometimes can't hear the sound from the computer when riding.

I've had mine for about two months now - didn't have anything to compare it to, but previously used my phone and it's much nicer to have the computer available. The route screen, climbing screen, and power/heart rate/cadence are my most used pages.

The unit ringing when it's synced with your phone is quite something.
Routing (when you simply enter a way point and ask it to navigate you there) however needs some work.

I am loving the Bolt coming from Joule GPS+ but having issue with FTP in bolt. Its set up fine in my app but when I ride my TSS is crazy high...anyone have similar issue?
Also doesnt seem to line up straight when in mount on bike, maybe just mine but barely off not much but I am OCD.

I have the same problem with FTP. It seems to use the default 200W as FTP and messes up ftp%, IF and TSS.

This guy sums up the Garmin vs. Wahoo question quite well. Garmin revolutionized GPS cycling computers 7 years ago, but haven't done anything since.

Latest update seems to have fixed an issue with .gpx route downloads from Garmin Connect being declared corrupt (unless of course that was a Connect bug).
New results summary tile has an amusing feature whereby my average power is the same as my max. No big deal, just a bug to iron out.
Wahoo Murray posted on DC Rainmaker thread that workout import from file is in the pipeline. Developer is working on it but release date not locked in yet.
