Works exactly as advertised. Integrates nicely with my Garmin 840. When a vehicle is approaching from behind there's an overlay that appears on the right of the 840 screen, color-coded based on how fast the vehicle is approaching. Won't ride on a public road without it!

I wish I had something like this years ago when I was rear-ended on my bike by a car and was lucky to survive. Works perfectly and allows me to focus on the road ahead of me. Highly Highly recommended

This is an expensive and valuable safety device. I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money, but I'm glad I did. It works exactly as advertised, pairing seamlessly with my Garmin 1030+. Picture and video quality are excellent. It is very easy to read license numbers of cars that pass. In an actual emergency, I am confident a full description of the vehicle including the license number would be readily available. The rear light is bright, so you don't need to double up. This unit has only two shortcomings. Both are the result of the high power consumption required to run a light and radar and video camera continuously. Because the unit has a big battery, it is heavy and has a relatively short battery life: about 8 hours in my experience. So I can't recommend it for people who count every gram or who would be put off by having to recharge daily. I recommend it highly for those who put safety first, those who would enjoy the rear facing videos and pictures you can take any time, and those who would like to know how fast was that car going when it passed me? I'll point out one feature that I think is excellent, that does not get enough attention in Garmin's own advertising for this device. When you trigger a manual video, the resulting 90 second video that is saved actually begins about 45 seconds before you pushed the trigger. That means you can record bad behavior AFTER it has already happened!

I am so impressed with this. I even had to upgrade from my Garmin Edge 800 to a compatible model of cycling computer (I went with the 1040 solar), so the price point of BOTH was just incredibly painful, even on sale. But I'm coming back to cycling after having taken significant time off due to health struggles and I've seen friends seriously hurt from getting hit out of the road. And I feel like in the area I live, driving manners and common sense just went to heck during the pandemic and haven't improved much. And as I am back out there, I think of those friends, and I realize I'm much older now and can't hear the cars coming up behind me as well as I used to. Or maybe I never heard them well and just benefitted from someone with great hearing in the back yelling "car!", but now I'm riding alone while I build up fitness again. And for everything I've been through with my health surprises, this is a form a self-care to invest in my safety. I don't think after getting clipped or hit from behind, I would think, gee I'm so glad I didn't spend that "x" hundred dollars! This is less than my surgical co-pay by a lot.The radar detects cars well out of my hearing range and I'd say even farther than I can turn to look behind me easily right now. I can get a sense if someone is hauling toosh as they approach me or if they're being gentle, safe and sane in their approach. If they slow down, they'll probably take care in passing too. An over the shoulder check is still appropriate but that's one point in time. This lets you see their whole approach. The tail light is very large and bright as well and has different setting for how it shines or blinks and it coordinates with your computer as well. So if you don't want to completely unclip and walk to the back of your bike to push the button to change it for different lighting conditions (coming home a bit late from a ride), you can do it on your Garmin Edge with just one foot down. (I suppose you could do it while cycling, but I can't and have strong opinions on distracted driving that make me not even want to try). In summary, this is totally worth the investment.

After a very close call with a stupid driver that decide to pass me on a road work zone, I purchase the Varia RCT715 and I don't regret it.The unit packs a lot of features that are well integrated.Setup was super easy and quick, it works very well with my Wahoo Elemnt Roam v2 computer bike.I love the color coded warning (Green: road clear, Orange incoming cars, Red fast approaching vehicle), color adjust with your speed. I like also the fact it shows how many cars are behind you and where.The continuous recording is great and created little clips of 30 seconds easily sharable with time stamp, your speed and vehicle speed. The image is clear and you can read license plate.All in all, I love it, and feel a bit safer on the road as I can anticipate a bit more knowing what is happening behind me.I wish Garmin would bring to the market a headlight with camera recording that sync with the Varia RCT715.
