    No, I find the vibrations coming through the bike make it annoying.

    Mostly just HR, time and distance. If on a road bike, then cadence as well. Other pages have more information but get less usage.

    Doesn't it depend on the ride?

    Specific training:
    - Cadans
    - Heart rate
    - HR zone
    Really don't care about speed on these rides. Just want to work on effort. Don't have power yet.

    Now I'm still messing around trying to find the right setup for sportive/effort rides.

    I just have mine set to beep every time I have used 107 calories, then I eat a kitkat.

    Seems funny to wear a watch and have Di2 battery level displayed. I could check my Di2 battery level with a calendar :wink:

    Power (3s)
    HR
    Speed (because I know if the first two are high and speed is low, it really is a strong headwind - and vice versa)

    Stopwatch
    Speed (in big)
    distance
    heart rate - cadence


    I look at cadence the most.

    I stopped using time of the day as I found I was concerned about the time and cutting my rides prematurely short. Now I forget about the time and just enjoy a good cycle, it takes as long as it takes. Theres also the fact I can estimate the time of day by the stopwatch if I really wanted to.

    I think you may have to update the software on the 810 and buy a Shimano D-fly wireless transmitter. This is the Garmin link http://www8.garmin.com/support/download ... sp?id=7573
