I’ve got a Garmin Forerunner 230 from when I was running competitively (before I had a fall and borked my knee). It does time, GPS, smartphone notifications, navigation when paired with the excellent dwmap app. I use mine on the handlebars of my bike instead of an Edge or a Wahoo thingy. If you want inbuilt HR, the Forerunner 45 is the equivalent nowadays, I think.

I have an Apple Watch. Having a smart watch is really useful for me at work because phone calls and messages pop up on the watch so I can decide what needs a quick response and what doesn’t, without constantly pulling my phone out of my pocket. But to be honest I don’t use any of the other functions and haven’t from about month 2 of owning the watch. I know a lot of other people in that boat too. When I get home I take it off and put a normal watch on which I much prefer to wear 🤷♂️
For a bit of realism added to Zwift, you can use this little Gplama video. Change screenshot and correct those low power figures etc etc

The bad news for some of you house cats is that it would mean you’d have to expose your bikes to actual daylight! 😄
Don't you worry, I'll be out riding that one week in July that we get sunshine
Actually .... I have less excuse now as just bought myself some bib-tights .... will make riding out in colder weather less harsh
Looks clear here Saturday and Sunday so hoping to get out for one of those days 
I've done 11 miles this week outdoors
that's 11 miles more than me since about Aug/Sept last yearI'm trying to get out most days, just to get legs turning, lungs expanding. I'm using wife's ebike for a few days to ease myself back in. My direct involvement on house build is a little less currently. Once my fitness starts to climb I'll venture out on my bike. By April/May my new steed should be here for some fun

That's a monster looking machine Andy. I guess you're planning to ride on trails etc, off the road and off the beaten track! Must weigh a ton
