Bike computer/ gps

ronn

I'm looking to buy a bike computer for a friend,
I see Aldi are doing a garmin 500 model, would this be a bit ott for a non computer friendly person all he really wants is something to tell him he's cycled 6miles and it took 10mins,
Can any one recommend a model/make to get,
Thanks

If it is for something that simple, would you not be better with the cheap lidl/aldi wired/wireless jobs, that way if they were ever robbed, you lose 7/8 euro rather than 109?? the cheap ones are quite accurate if that is all you want to know.
Alternatively, if your mate has a smartphone, why not put strava on it for all the other bells and whistles?

Never mind the computer. If your mate is doing 6 miles in 10 min, he might want to think about a change in career.

ronn if that's all he wants I have one of the basic lidl ones that's never been used that you can have for nothing.

Tells you the basics like speed, distance, time etc. if you want it p, me and I can arrange to send it to you.

I want a computer to tell me I've done 6 miles in 10 minutes too but I've yet to find one

Its easy enough to improve your time, turn the GPS upside down. :-) :-)
