Digital camera reviews of Garmin GSC 10 Speed/Cadence Bike Sensor
Digital camera Review: Faulty Unit, Be Aware for Bad Manufacturing
Summary: 2 Stars
Unfortunately, as Garmin has expanded their quality control has been poor. While I believe this has the potential to be a good product, I purchased two of these units for my bike and my wife's. One of them came with an almost dead battery and a dead speed sensor (although the cadence works well). I am not the only person with this issue as the garmin support forums have had several people complain of this issue. Replacing the unit through G has been difficult as well. Their call center is slow and overwhelmed.
The second unit works perfectly as expected, and provides what is advertised. The unit seamlessly pairs with both my forerunner 310xt and my wife's forerunner 405.
So, while the product itself, if it worked w/o problem I would rate as a 4, the QC issues and issues with Garmin Customer Support make the GSC (which I am otherwise a fan of) a 2 star rating.
Digital camera Review: Flimsy and cheap
Summary: 1 Stars
Despite mounting all the pieces exactly as instructed, I couldn't get this device to consistently work. The plastic slides out of place at the slightest bump, and within 2 weeks the sensor arm has come loose and snapped off. I've got a Garmin Forerunner 305 and absolutely love it, but would not recommend this accessory.Digital camera Review: GARMIN CADENCE SENSOR
Summary: 4 Stars
So far it works great.
Had to readjust a couple times to get both the cadence and the speed sensors to work. Actually had to turn the sensing unit upside down to best pick them up. However, not very mechanically inclined, so take the difficulty as mostly user error.
Purchased it mainly to track workouts on my indoor trainer during the winter. However, have used the cadence info on my outside rides more than expected to target training zones.
It felt like it took forever to get here, ship time was over the high end of the estimate. But that was a temporary inconvenience that does not reflect on the product.
Digital camera Review: GREAT PRODUCT
Summary: 5 Stars
VERY EASY TO INSTALL. ALTHOUGH IT REQUIRED A NEW BATTERY. I HAVE USED IT FOR SOME TIME NOW AND THE BATTERY LASTS AND THE CEDENCE SENDOR WORKS JUST FINEDigital camera Review: GSC 10 Cadence Sensor
Summary: 4 Stars
based on previous reviews of this product, I went ahead and changed the battery before even trying to install it.
Installed it in tandem with my current wired cateye computer(used the cateye crank sensor, and just installed a second wheel magnet), worked on the first try with my FR 305...works great for capturing speed/cadence data on indoor trainer.
