Hi all,

Can you recommend a computer that:

- does the normal things: speed, distance, time, elevation etc...
- heart rate
- GPS.

I'd like to be able to load the data of each ride on my computer and be able to compare week by week where I've been where i've improved or not.

Battery life is important as well as sturdiness as it'll be used on a mountain bike for an entire day. I am happy to take a spare battery.

I saw many on various sites ranging anywhere between £100 to £800. My budget will be closer to the lower end of that scale, circa £250-350.

Thanks for your help.

Twice biggrin . Thanks anyway.

Question: they mention 18h battery, would that be with GPS and cardio enabled? Not that I am planning an 18h straight stretch but over 2 or 3 days without power it could put that claim to the test.

How long would it last in failrly warm conditions with all functions working?

Solar chargers? Any good?

^ I'd rather leave it on as well for the world to see how unfit I truly am.
