Bought it for solo rides as suggested by my club mates. It's ace for showing what's behind. I still look over my shoulders but it gives piece of mind. Had to buy a separate mount as the garmin one is not great on aero seat posts.

Cycle Safely with the Garmin Varia RVR315
Safety is of paramount importance when cycling on busy roads. Lights, reflectives and bright clothing are all essential, but the Garmin Varia Rear View Radar RVR315 goes a step further by offering an advanced and reliable warning system to the rider. Attached easily and discreetly to the seat post of almost any bike the Varia RVR315 is a rearview radar system that pairs wirelessly via ANT+ or Bluetooth to Garmin Edge computers, compatible smartphones and other select Garmin wearables. When paired, the Varia alerts the rider of vehicles approaching from behind up to 140m away via a series of visual and audible alerts that automatically show and emit from the Garmin device or smartphone.
Small and lightweight, the Varia is barely noticeable while the rechargeable, seven-hour battery life covers even long solo training rides. A robust exterior and IPX7 waterproof rating complete the unit and ensure long-lasting reliability.

I'm now on to my third one of these units. When they work, they are great, but they have a couple of design issues. The on/off buttons are known to fail. My first two units both had buttons that failed after just over 12 months. Also the power socket is an outdated Micro-USB type. It's about time that Garmin updated this product to fix the button design and replace the power port with a USB-C one
