So I decided to compare data provided by K2 and Garmin Edge 520 Plus

Here is my setup:

Connected sensors:

• Garmin: Speed, Powermeter, SRAM eTap
• K2: Powermeter, SRAM eTap
• NO navigation on either

Note: K2's speed+distance was registered from GPS (only cuz I forgot to pair the speed sensor)

Then thanks to DC Rainmaker Analyzer tool I'm able to directly compare data of those two devices.

I didn't ride very hilly terrain as you can see. So this comparison is not the best representation of how accurate either of both devices is.

Summary:

1. both devices registered the same ascent (5 meters of difference is within tolerance of error I'd say)
2. K2 battery burn rate 7% / hr ....not bad at all

I'm planning to continue comparing those two devices in future rides. Of course I won't post here every single one. But longer routes with navigation running might give us some representative results how good or bad K2 is.
