What cycling computer to get?

[Matt12345]

I am looking at upgrading from using my phone in my back pocket for a cycling computer but I do not want to spend over £100. I would really like it to do the minimum such as speed, distance time but if I can get navigation in my price range then that would be great.

I am currently thinking of the garmin edge 25 any thoughts?

Don't think it does on the fly nav if that's what you want (planned breadcrumb trail maybe)

You could get a used 705

705's are great and can be bought quite cheap.If the battery is dodgy, you can swap them out.

That looks good Gert Lush! Does it matter that it has been refurbished in regards to working ability and does the 500 have navigation?

I wouldn't know about the first part. I doubt they could sell it as Refurbished if it didn't work completely. The 500 has Bread Crumb navigation, which works well for some people. I used it a few times and got around.

Still some Garmin 25s in our local Aldi at £79.99.

Garmin Touring for £130 - it will do everything you need - worth the extra few quid

I have recently bought a Bryton 100 at £45 from e-bay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Bryto...975481?hash=item1eaa49b2b9:g:qp4AAOSwqrtWnzci

Paid another £30 or so for a Bontrager speed/cadence sensor which connected to the Bryton.
