Overview

Performance training and smart navigation in a compact, bright package.

The Garmin Edge 850 is a compact cycling computer with performance training, smart navigation and connected features, all on a bright, colorful 2.7-inch color touchscreen. The responsive touchscreen lets you pan and zoom maps, swipe between screens, and report road hazards, in addition to using the buttons. A built-in speaker delivers audible navigation, workout prompts, and a digital bike bell. Garmin Pay contactless payments let you pay for a mid-ride snack or coffee break with a tap of the Edge. Create courses point-by-point directly on the device with the on-device course creator. Smart fueling alerts offer custom nutrition and hydration recommendations during rides (with a compatible power meter and heart rate monitor), while real-time weather overlays keep you informed (with a compatible smartphone and the Garmin Connect app). Performance features include adaptive Garmin Cycling Coach plans, VO2 max, training status, heat and altitude acclimation, cycling ability insights, and ClimbPro. Some training and performance features require a compatible heart rate monitor, power meter or both. Up to 12 hours in demanding use, 36 hours in battery saver mode. Compatible with Varia radars and lights.

The Edge 850 is the step up from button-only. It adds a touchscreen, speaker, Garmin Pay, and course creator over the 550 in the same compact size with a 2.7-inch display.
