A Garmin 800 ('https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/into...prod69043.html'
(https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/into-sports/discontinued/edge-800/prod69043.html))
which works great. I highly recommend it if you do a lot of bicycle
riding.
No I'm not a cyclist, just a hiker/hill-bagger.
I recently purchased a Fenix 3, I wish I'd done a bit more research
beforehand as the recorded tracks from this are pretty dire, the Garmin
Fenix 3 forum is full of it.
