What reviewers say about the Garmin Edge 130 Plus
Two whitelisted testers (DC Rainmaker, Cycling Weekly) hands-on-tested this exact model (Garmin Edge 130 Plus) and agree it's the most polished small-form bike computer, stable and feature-packed for its size. Both flag breadcrumb/line-only navigation (no detailed street maps) as the main limit. All quotes and measured values below were confirmed verbatim against the fetched review text.

Consistently praised
- Most polished small-form-factor unit; feature-packed for its size (ClimbPro, structured workouts, MTB metrics) · 2 sources
- Stable, glitch-free software with strong phone connectivity
- GPS is 'boringly accurate' in comparison testing
Commonly flagged
- Breadcrumb/line navigation only — no detailed onboard street maps · 2 sources
- No out-front mount included in the box
- At the same $199, Wahoo's BOLT offers more detailed functions
Where reviewers disagree On value the two split: DC Rainmaker says he'd 'easily take a Wahoo BOLT' over the 130 Plus at the same $199 unless you live in the mountains (where ClimbPro becomes tempting), whereas Cycling Weekly calls it a 'veritable powerhouse in a diminutive form' that 'offers great value.'

Battery burn rate, 90-min ride (HR + power sensors, GPS, no phone): 6.00%/hour (~16 hr projected) · Battery burn rate, 82-min ride (phone + sensors): 8.25%/hour (~12 hr projected)
If you’re looking for a small form factor GPS bike computer, the Edge 130 Plus is easily the most polished option out there, with one of the heavier feature sets.
And that’s the overall gist of things with GPS on both the new Edge 1030 Plus and Edge 130 Plus: Boringly accurate, minus the slight variations on that one ride for the Edge 130 Plus.
I’d easily take a Wahoo BOLT and its more detailed functions over a Edge 130 Plus for the same price
Battery used, 100 km ride with heart rate sensor: ~40%
A fine tuned setup process, diminutive size and stable software make the Garmin Edge 130 Plus the easiest Garmin device to live with, a fit and forget powerhouse that'll cover 90% of riders with ease.
I found the Edge 130 Plus held its connection to my phone much better than its higher end Edge 830 counterpart
it uses a line map rather than a detailed one as found on higher end devices. In my mind this is the only real sticking point and those who like to explore or use mapping might want to go for a larger device.
