What to buy with $250 Amazon dollars

[ULEWZ]

I got a $250 dollar award at work and am torn between a 3 axis gyro gopro mount, Garmin Edge 520, or a Shockwiz. I can use my phone with mount, so garmin is not as needie, I will probably only use the 3 axis gyro mount twice, and I will only need the Shockwiz a few times. So, which would you choose? I know, tough decisions to have. Or what else?

Of those three choices I would go with the Garmin. I have used my smartphone for several years but there are times when I don't want to wear a three pocket jersey just for my phone and I don't want to mount it to my bars. When the time comes though I'm actually leaning towards the Wahoo Element Bolt.

Don’t get the Wiz. You can rent one from a shop or borrow one from another member.

 

[herzalot]

Get the Wiz, but re-gift it to someone on this site who is reaaaaallllllyyyy picky about suspension set up.

The one time I tried to mount my phone to the bars, it snapped off, and I ran it over...

I use my Apple Watch to track rides now, but there are days that I want more data visible during the ride, and I bring the Garmin 510. Sometimes I like having the temperature, elevation, speed, route, etc. Plus it's more accurate than the phone...

I use my iPhone with the Quad Lock mount on a couple of my bikes and have never had an issue. I don't use it on my 6" travel bike that takes the most trail abuse. www.quadlockcase.com

Garmin? Don't you have an iPhone Ed? Apple watch even better. I don't use a separate GPS any more.

Gasoline for somewhere with great riding; throw in some good beer and cannabis for afterward. Maybe a decadent sandwich or snack for the trail.

Have you ever been experienced...

None of them sounds like you can spend your money on something else. Patience

No. I have a Miphone. I don't like wearing watches so the Apple watch wouldn't work for me.

I’ve heard the edible chocolates are pretty good...

I’d buy diapers.

Aren't you a little old for those?

Whatever you get at Amazon, just make sure you click to Amazon through the bottom of this page link to Amazon. It doesn’t cost you one extra dime... and it pays your free membership fee for imtbtrails.

I know, shameless plug.

Aren't you a little old for those?

Or maybe a little too young for them?

Longtime Edge 520 guy, switched over to Wahoo Elemnt Bolt haven't looked back. I still like a separate GPS too. You will need a good mount.. like the Barfly...

Never too old to shıt your pants.

At my son's suggestion, I ended up buying a Gopro 7 black with built in image stabilization. Not cheap, but hopefully worth it. Mixed reviews on Youtube, but we shall see. Thanks for the suggestions.

Good thing my suspension is currently dialed to my liking!

Oh and congrats on buying something useful. I hope it's awesome.

Someday I will buy one, and yes, I will loan it out.
