    Hi Guys,

    Looking for a bit of advice. I am looking to buy myself a either a bike computer or watch so I can be a bit more scientific about tracking my progress.

    What would you recommend and the price range of each.


    Thanks

    Depends what you want to track, and your budget.
    Budget, Cateye Strada cadence for about €50, Suunto or Polar HRM, €40 to €50.
    Mid range, Garmin Edge 500, with cadence and HRM ~€200 which would do both. Or a Suunto or Polar HRM for €50 upwards to track your heartrate etc.
    Upper, anything goes, if you wanted power and the rest you can spend upwards of €500 to €1000.
    I use a Garmin edge 500 with cadence on the bike, and a Suunto HRM thats in the mid range price bracket, think it was €150 a few years ago. It measures intensity and tracks your fitness level and adjusts accordingly. Having a dedicated HRM is handy if you do other sports, I wear it running as well.

    Wife uses a Garmin Forerunner 110 (approx €150) which she uses for walking/running and cycling. The data can be uploaded to STRAVA etc. and compared with others.
