    Sup lads,

    I'm looking to replace my trusty Edge 200 and Suunto M5 with one device that would allow me to log running & cycling kilometers and heart rates. I was looking at Garmin Vivoactive, would that be a good choice? Is the screen readable if I slap it on the bars of my bike?

    Anything else that I should look into? Naturally it needs to be Strava-compatible.

    You'll pick up a microsoft band cheap enough at the moment. Newer version due out in a week or two which will also have an altimeter. Links to strava as well. Don't think it'll talk to a cadence sensor if you have one.

    Garmin just announced 3 new running watches... Two of which are cycling compatible. Have a look at dcrainmaker.com for a quick but detailed preview.

    But the Garmin will still work when you have the bike on your shoulder ;)
