Best sub £100 bike gps?

[park1]

Looking for a cheap bike GPS. Not interested in heart rate or cadence, just need speed, distance, time and ability to upload to strava.
Current options seem to be:
Garmin edge 200
Cateye stealth 10
Mio cyclo 100
Bryton rider 20

Looking at Cateye as down to £56 at Merlin

Any opinions would be much appreciated.

Interested to know how accurate users find these cheaper units.
Cheers

Is it easy to upload to strava? Only ever used mobile phone to track rides before.

Uploads automatically though Garmin connect and also direct from the device itself.

Garmin E200 - simplicity and reliability. I have used a Edge 800, but I always turn back to the simple and unfussy interface of the 200 when I don't need advance navigation + elevation data.

Having done a bit of reading around as well I'm agreeing with you. All other options seem to have issues that make the extra £20-£30 the garmin 200 costs seem not too bad.
EBay prices for second hand seems silly seeing as they are about £80 new from places like crc and evans.
Thanks all for the tips.

I, personally, would be thinking twice about buying a second-hand GPS from ebay, as they are fairly advanced and in a lot of ways fairly delicate bits of kit. The warranty you get with a new unit is peace of mind worth paying for in my humble opinion. Having said that, a friend of mine bought her Edge 705 for £80.00 from ebay, still boxed and everything. Only thing it didn't come with was a warranty. It's a risk you take I suppose.
