PSA: Garmin Varia v2 RTL510 $130 pretty much everywhere

I picked it up at Amazon for 1 day shipping to have for the weekend, but it's the same price at Tri Sports, Garmin's website, perhaps others...

Glad to see the price coming down as it’s an essential safety device IMO. I have the v1 tail light wondering if v2 offers anything worth the upgrade?

brighter light and maybe a newer longer lasting battery.

I had V1 and upgraded to V2 because I loved the original so much. The difference is not that huge. It is a lot brighter. I do not notice any difference in radar performance. I have no clue how battery compares, because I never did a ride long enough with either. I prefer the V2 vertical position.

The V2 does not come with that screw-on round seatpost mount. So, hold on to that from your V1.

Any idea for why the price cut? New version 3 coming? I never looked closely at these

No clue. I bought my original when it went on sale for $50 off. Then, 3 months later V2 came out. This is the first sale I remember for the V2. The V2 is almost 2 years old now, so maybe they have a v3 coming soon.

If so, I will probably pre-order the V3 based solely on my love for V1 and V2.

I wouldn't necessarily expect a v.3 anytime soon. I bought my v.2 almost exactly a year ago -- you could find them everywhere then (except the Garmin site) for $99. I bought then.
