The same could be said for a TV, PC, book, etc. 🤦
For anyone thinking "what a waste of money" Strava on my phone can do this, this isn't for you. It's for more serious bikers and great for interval training.

Typical use is Garmin head unit connects the di2 shifter hood buttons to control screen actions, Varia radar to show cars creeping up behind you, powermeter if you have one to show wattage, heartrate monitor strap to analyze post-ride performance. Also, it syncs bluetooth to your phone and detects crashes and will text your emergency contacts with coordinates. It works. I crashed one time and it gave me 30 secs to cancel before it SMS'd out.

Warning me when any of those devices are low battery is already worth the money alone, no more riding out 30 miles and suddenly powermeter goes dark. Having bought NOH from Garmin before, I have absolute confidence what you receive will look brand freaking new with all new accessories.
Unless you really want the more compact 830, the 1030 Plus for $299 is a much better deal.

anyone have a deal for the required speed sensor for this? and for a power meter?
The computer will determine your speed via GPS if you don't have a separate sensor, which is the majority of people.

This is kind of an impossible question to answer without knowing what you are looking for in a device. It all depends on what you want/need.
In a watch? Good maps of trails, step counter, path marker, blood oxygen, heart rate, MP3 playing, and maybe LTE access for texts and calls.

So the speed & cadence sensor is not required for the 830/840?

No, it will get the speed/distance data via GPS (although not quite as accurate as the sensor).
You don't *need* the cadence sensor, but like an HRM it adds another data point.

If you want to dabble in powermeter to test waters, buy a $200-$300 used left side only powermeter from 4iii or Stages on FB, CL or ebay. They work great. Check your current crank length 170 vs 172.5mm.

Any cheap speed/cadence sensor on Amazon will work with it if it supports ANT+. Typically 2 for $30-40. Most are dual purpose, toggle switch to use as speed/cadense sensor.

Cadence is useful for new road riders who are struggling to find the correct pedaling RPM themselves. 3sec cadence avg is very helpful to help you learn, but once you get feel for "correct" cadence at any grade of hill, you won't ever need to see it again. You just automatically shift to the right gearing that keeps you in that magical 80-90rpm range.

Tacking on to this and OfficeSpace123's previous post - if you have a powermeter, the computers get cadence from that "for free", so if you are planning on getting a powermeter anyway, skip cadence.

Every single damn bike computer deal: My phone can do that too.

Like, is there an army of people who just go around being overzealous about their phone?

Quote from OfficeSpace123 :
Yeah you can get by with a watch too, but if you bike a lot, what is has over a watch is doing training intervals with powermeter, it will show you wattage range required for current effort, a preview of what's coming up, and will beep at you when you fall out of range so you can't be slacker or over exert.

One last positive, head unit is great for downloading longer rides you aren't familiar with. Seeing the route on screen is very nice. I've done this a few times where I took a wrong turn and got told to get back on track. If there is a negative, the nav is pretty dumb if you go off track. If often will tell you to u-turn instead of recalcuating new better route even though you've been going straight for 1 mile and absoutely are not turning back. It's not as smart as Google Maps.
The navigation gripe may be by design - rerouting in a race can definitely result in a DQ. You generally have to re-enter the course at the point of exit. Whether Garmin designed it that way, I don't know.
