    Looking at a garmin for my mountain bike

    Have no idea and not a lot to spend, i was thinking a watch might just do the job
    Anyone using a running watch ? I would be afraid of loosing a stem or top tube mounting device or would they even fall off ?

    Buy a 500 - as much as you'll ever need! Should be able to get an almost new one for €100! I wouldn't buy a 200 - no HR ability and inaccurate elevation measurement!

    Just did a quick check and the 25 looks like it does the job too - not sure how it records elevation though!

    Get either the Edge 25 or 520 - these two models support GLONASS as well as GPS, so tracking performance will be superior. If you want to make use of the data as you ride, the 520 would be the one to go for due to its bigger screen. If you want to save some money and will be using the device mainly for reviewing the data later, the 25 would be the one to go for.

    does the Edge 25 work with a powermeter?
