    The phone and the strava app work quite well but it won't be long before you start dreaming of buying a garmin edge 810 with the heart rate monitor and cadence sensor. I'm in this exact boat at the moment:-)

    I used my phone for a year but it's quite sore on the battery so bought a Bryton 20 and then upgraded to a Bryton 35 (Garmin 500 equivalent)

    You'll pick up a Garmin 200 cheap enough but they're roughly €100 new.
