Note that I didn’t say it wouldn’t be useful.

But your one example doesn’t do much to show that there are enough people to justify the effort (which is what my question was about).

How many Garmin Edge users are riding with smart watches?

The other issue is that each type of smartwatch would require different support.

Supporting their own watches is easier to...

Given that they are the same price, what made you pick the Trek over the Garmin 515? I would have thought the Garmin was a safer bet given it’s relatively long proven history (a 3rd gen...

No reason to throw them out (no one is suggesting that you do that).

USB-C is the current standard. That's enough to have new devices use it.

It doesn't matter too much that you aren't going to...

So, the Varia was originally created by a company Garmin ended-up buying.

That company also created the display unit because, of course, they didn’t have head units of their own (their device...

"Had". It appears they don't sell it any more.

Looks like it was sold as a package (the display and the radar). It would cost more than just the radar. It’s possible that people using phones on...

It's possible that Garmin is using its own censor and the others are using an off-the-shelf component. There are 4 (at least) manufacturers. I doubt all of them are making their own sensor.

I knew about it, forgot about it, and remembered it for this thread.

Might be kind of clever since it opens up the radar to people who don't want to buy an "expensive" head unit.


It doesn't...

It might be a somewhat easy sale to people "afraid of cars" (but who wouldn't necessarily want to spend $$ on an head unit they might not understand, especially, against familiar smartphone apps).

Upthread, it was said that the Trek unit makes the seller more money than the Garmin unit. It's a $200 thing that can be added to the pile of new stuff for people already spending $$ for a new Trek...

The main head units are Garmin, Wahoo, and Hammerhead. How would the Trek have an "ability to interface better" with all of these? The software on the head units isn't being changed.

Yes, I got that. It’s not the right way to refer to the radar device. “Projecting” isn’t a great word to use either.

This is confusing. You call the radar device a “display” but it’s not a display. The head unit is the display.

Anyway, no, the Garmin radar device doesn’t have “more things to show”.
