Did my first outdoor ride using the Garmin Varia today, and I like it. I see how it will quickly be hard to imagine not having it, it just gives that next level of situational awareness.
I have a mirror, and I usually am trying to check it frequently so I am rarely surprised by a vehicle. But with the varia it was chirping before I could even see a vehicle in the mirror at times. At one point I thought it was an error message due to a group of cyclists behind me, but there was actually a vehicle well back and behind them that I couldn’t see.
