GBKaroo 2 Bought a Karoo 2, it factory reset itself three times within the two weeks of owning it, so spent a lot of time logging back in and having to waiting for it redownload all the maps... On the third time I raised a RMA, which was a pretty quick and slick process. Would I recommend a Karoo 2? No, at this time don't think the software is mature and stable enough. Would I say they offer good customer service?? Yes

GBCould of been 5 Stars I have found the hammerhead Karoo 2 once you know how to use it after my garmin 520 an excellent bike computer. The mapping is outstanding and the data you can have on the screen is also very good. Its easy to use and you don’t need to change the mount from your garmin mount as an attachment comes in the box. The display is very clear and easy to follow. BUT I can’t give five stars as the battery life is very poor if you have a number of sensor going at the same time as the mapping. After a 2.30 hour ride I was down to 65% battery life. Come the summer am hoping this will last the 100+ miles a ride. I do think hammerhead need to look at this very quickly to compete with the likes of garmin. HOWEVER saying that I would recommend this bike computer as I am more than happy with it.

GBBought a karoo2 two weeks ago Bought a karoo2 two weeks ago, battery life was very bad.Contacted customer service which I believe is in India and those agent were not interested to arrange a refund instead,they were forcing me to go through troubleshooting which I have already done but to no avail and when insisted for a refund ,I'm still waiting for their reply and very disappointed with the unit.Got a Garmin 1030 plus which is way better and user friendly.Karoo has been hyped up with lots of adverts,don't fall for their trap.

GBMasterclass in Comms & Customer Experience Being a young and small company building its production and logistics capabilities, its taken a few months for them to ship product - the Karoo 2 -at scale. At first, I was a little worried. But I shouldn't have been. This company has delivered a masterclass in how you maintain quality and trustworthy communications to keep you informed of where you stand in line for your product delivery. They set realistic expectations and even beat them. The product packaging and unboxing experience beats that of much more mature companies. And then the product itself works right out of the box. If you are coming from a Garmin, then the fact this just works as well as offering a 'next-gen' product experience, it feels like 2007 all over again when I moved from a Microsoft phone to an Apple iPhone. No more slow, clunky interface. And Garmin is notoriously unreliable and their software quality poor. I'm coming from a 1030 Plus, and its no competition. The Karoo 2 is a disruptive product that will hopefully push the overall market to step up its game. And with a customer experience to match, these guys deserve to succeed.
