These lights are small, lightweight, and versatile. I've got several. The rear one is the best I've found for my aero seat posts. I pack a set in my bag back-up. The light and its holder weigh 3/8 oz on my postal scales. The two rubber straps for my aero seat post weigh 3/8 oz. Rechargeable and good for a 7 hour ride.
The value on this product is great. They are accurate, easy to set up and provide a great option to other power meters in being able to be moved to different bikes easily and their price tag. The only quirk I noticed is they do not engage with my shoes as quickly and easily as my Shimano pedals. I wear Sidi Dominator off road shoes and it takes an extra second or two to get them lined up to engage. This is not a problem for a training/casual ride but could be an issue in a race. Where Shimano pedals just seem to naturally find the right spot with no real effort the Favero require a little finagling to get them positioned. I am in my 50s now, so my competive racing days are behind me but this would have bugged me in my 20-30s. I still ride 8-12 hours a week and still structure my workouts and these work wonderfully.
Got the Garmin edge 1050 after my edge 10:30 began to have difficulties. It has been working nicely over the last 3 to 4 months that I have been using it. It downloads routes quickly and seamlessly through Garmin connect. It sinks up nicely with Ride with GPS and Strava. The screen is nice and crisp, much better than the 1030 with the new OLED display. Thus far the battery life has been more than adequate, I suspect it would last an estimated 20 hours. The screens are relatively easy to configure, and I did not have any troubles with syncing this to my power meter. I do enjoy having a larger screen, which is helpful for older eyes. It does have multiple alerts for various things which can be configured for those that prefer a quieter ride. Taken all together , I would certainly purchase the unit again.
