While I am really happy with my Garmin Forerunner 955, I would not say the same about my Edge 830. The hardware is fine, battery life is great, screen looks good, feels solid. But the whole software part of it feels like it is straight from 2005. Slow, intuitive, the menu structure is a mess.
If you want something that 'just works', go for the Wahoo. If you want intergration with Garmin Connect, you could upload the .fit files via USB.
That’s definitely Garmin for you. I’ve had forerunners and edge computers since fr205. Good hardware but shitty software. Still, I’ve tried others like wahoo and always ended up with Garmin again. Currently on an edge 1040 and a fr965, 15 years later and I still get lost in the menus.
Went with the Wahoo at the end and couldn't be happier. Everything seems to work great including navigation and connection with my hr monitor. Integration with Connect is also super easy, Wahoo automatically uploads the ride to dropbox from where I can upload it to Connect.
