To recap
As an Android OS-based device, this bike computer does things a little differently. But unless you’re really committed to specific Garmin features, the mainstay of Hammerhead’s offering is excellent - the visible and recorded data, the customisation, solid build and good battery life - wrapped into a package that, from what we’ve seen, will only get better over time via updates.
