Edge 705- where to buy one?
« on: 26 November, 2009, 06:40:15 am »
The Mrs has graciously consented to me getting an Edge 705 for Christmas  :thumbsup:

Just in case my Google-Fu has missed something, where's the best place to but one?  I don't fancy paying the £378 Wiggle are asking.

Have a look over at Ribble. That is where I got mine. It was cheaper tgan anywhere other online retailers that I trust. They were one of the few that had any in stock at the time.

Just bought my Oregon 300 from Handtec which was almost £100 cheaper than other online sites. I had a look and they do the Edge 705 but I'm not sure of the current prices elsewhere. Buy Sat Nav TomTom Garmin HTC PDA Tom Tom GPS Cheap - Reviews. I had to pay postage but their price for the mount for the bike was also very competitive.

I bought a Garmin from them about a month ago, ordered 4.30pm, delivered next morning, no complaints.

Handtec have it at about £265 inc HRM at the moment.
It is simpler than it looks.

Make sure you're comparing like with like when checking prices.

E.g. There are two usual UK packages around
010-00555-21:  705 + HRM (base)
010-00555-31:  705 + HRM + Speed/Cadence Sensor (+£30)

Sometimes bundled with Maps
705 + HRM + Speed/Cadence Sensor + City Nav NT 2010 UK (+£60)
705 + HRM + Speed/Cadence Sensor + City Nav NT 2010 Europe (+£100)

Note: Product numbers NOT ending 21/31 are imports. (20/30 are from the US).
