Cycling Computer

[ctonry]

Bought my bike the other day with some good advice on here. Now looming for a cycle computer, I used to have one about 14 years ago and they have definately vastly improved!

I dont need anything with maps on etc.. all I need is one to do the basics, time, distance, speed and probably a few more features.

Any recommendations for a budget up to about £50 or so? Which brands to avoid? Theyre are so many brands online now and I cant work out which ones are just cheaply made

Google Fit and Strava, both free.

I've got one of these on the road bike. Great bit of kit and quite discreet given its size.

Is the heart rate sensor that hooks up to it any good? Does it keep a record od your heartrate or just show a live reading?
