1) Garmin Edge 820, unused but refurbished model received from Garmin yesterday. Includes out-front mount (used once), official rubber case (not included when buying retail). Has a 3 month warrantly on it..
Full disclosure, this is a dog's breakfast of a product (you can read my thoughts on it in The Garmin Thread) - or check the terrible reviews on the Garmin site. So buyer beware..
In fairness to it though, the original device got me through 7,200miles without ever crashing once and uploaded every ride automatically. I also found I could eek the battery out for about 13 hours without even using the 'powersave' mode. I learnt to work within it's limitations (touchscreen mainly) and it was 'fine'. I returned it to Garmin last week because the display was degrading slightly internally and I only had one week of warranty left. They immediately sent me a refurbished model which looks new (it has a screen protector on in the pic) and seems somehow heftier and sturdier than my 'launch' product. I was tempted to keep it and see if it's better but my ageing eyes need a bigger screen sadly..
£165
