Want all that in non-video format instead? No problem, here ya go! I’ve put together a complete unboxing video that runs through all the bits in the box, plus some installation tidbits and a brief look at Garmin Cycling Dynamics: In this case I’ll be doing an unboxing of the Vector 3 dual-sending set (as opposed to the Vector 3S single-sided pedal).

If you wanna help support the blog, hit up the links at the bottom.įirst things first is to get things unboxed.

Speaking of which, as always, I’ll be shipping back the two remaining test units I have of Vector 3 shortly and going out and getting my own via normal retail channels. While production was behind schedule and at lesser volumes than Garmin had hoped, many people have seen in the last few days a significant increase in units landing in stores (finally). Vector 3 started shipping back on October 14th, 2017 at the Kona Ironman World Championships. I’ve iterated through three sets of pedals: Two pre-production sets, and then the last two months a final production set. Four months of it in fact, well before Vector 3 even was announced. The real question is – when it came to real-world usage out on the road, how would it fare? For that, I’ve done a boatload of riding. From a technology standpoint, they increased accuracy claims to +/- 1% while also adding in Bluetooth Smart transmission (*soon), and settings configuration with your mobile phone. They also went away from a 3rd party manufactured pedal, and built the whole thing from the ground up in-house. From a physical standpoint they got rid of the dangling pods off the side of the unit everything is now internal. With that unit they introduced a slew of both technology features and non-technology new aspects. It’s been exactly three months (plus a day) since Garmin announced their latest power meter, Vector 3.
