After a 14 day tour of 50-70 mile days for 12 of 14 days, the battery went from 100% to about 65% with all sunny days to charge the battery. The screen is easy to read and the navigation is spot on with mostly good rerouting, if you miss a turn. But, you still should double check the rerouting the unit chooses, as one reroute it chose, close to my home, I knew was not the best. Also, it could be more intuitive to use, though it's not bad. So far, I've only downloaded Ride with GPS routes and used that for navigation, so I know there is much more functionality to research and use. Overall, it's been great to use and I would recommend the unit, especially for the battery life.
Epic battery life - kept it on continuously for nearly 6 days and had to charge once. Would never have had to charge if I'd remembered to turn it off at night. Does what I want it to do - navigate routes - with ease. Dial on the right hand side is touchy - if you brush up against it your screen view changes. I've got a 'busy' front end setup (bikepacking) so I didn't have many options for placing it - if you do, factor the dial into your calculations.
Excellent unit for the money - very well made.
Two things appealed to me about the Coros Dura bike computer: it's price and the relative ease other reviewers gave for ease-of-use. Price is definitely favorable compared to other GPS computers but as for ease-of-use, I'm less sure. You will need to use the app to do most things, then sync the app on your phone with the Dura...that part is easy. Less so, is wading through the myriad of features you will likely not use to do what for me is the essential: mapping rides, importing routes and measuring distance, elevation gains and losses etc. I've had it a couple of months at this point and I've imported routes and used the routes for riding but I am by no means masterful at using it - I suspect it will take a more concerted effort yet. Overall, great GPS, just wish there were a stripped down feature for easier day-to-day use for those not training for a triathlon and don't need splits, laps etc.
Using the Dura is an ease. The interfaces are user friendly. The scroll knob and touchscreen option work well and are a good partner to each other. Of course battery life is outstanding! Very happy with the Coros Dura
Went on a 5.5 hour ride, screen set to bright, navigating the whole time. Battery used up 8% and charged back up 3.8%, for a net use of 4.2%. I've had this for two months now and I'm sure one of these days I have to charge it. Any day now.
