I've seen these online for just under £60 and as I'm getting conscious that having an iPhone6 lit up on my bars in London might well make me a target, I wondered if it's a good alternative. Most importantly for me is if it connects to Strava like I know some of the Garmins do.

Anyone got any opinions good or bad? And is the price OK? Or is this the type of thing that regularly gets discounted?

That Lezyne looks pretty good as it goes.

A few friends and I are thinking about doing a coast-to-coast later in the year and I don't think my phone would be up to logging the trip.

Something small with better battery life would be better all round.

Thanks for all the responses.

I'm not a good enough cyclist to warrant logging my heartrate and I do already have a relatively simplistic Cat-eye wired computer that does cadence on my roadbike.

I really just want something to log my mileage and speed etc and display the stuff that matters as you're moving - current speed, average speed, distance covered etc.

Though I have to say I am tempted by the Lezyne version - which goes against everything I've just said.
