Garmin GPS or something else?

[boyse7en]

Need to replace my Garmin 405 as it no longer holds a battery charge for more than an hour, despite replacing the battery last year frown

When I got my 405 four years ago, Garmin was the only kid on the block as far as GPS watches went, but there is a lot of competition now.
Is Garmin still the go-to choice? Or are others worth looking at?

I want to be able to see distance/pace or speed/time while running or cycling, and to be able to upload to review afterwards. Ease of use and long battery life is better than loads of features I won't use.

I've tried Strava on my phone, which is great but I can't see info while I'm running, and the phone is a bit cumbersome to lug around on longer runs.
