After 9 faithful years of service my Garmin Edge 800 has eventually succumb to failure, the on/off button well the rubber that pushes the button has parted company with the rest of the rubberised case. It still works but to switch on or off I have to find a pen or a screwdriver to do it. It has stood me well, with non of the dreaded lockups or failures that everybody said would happen, only thing I found was you had to keep the number of activities down to a reasonable amount or it would glitch.
I got a good deal on it from Halfords in 2013 it was end of line (810 about to be released) they were £290ea but they were doing 3 for 2, so with some friends we bought 3, then got another 10% off for something else which brought it down to £174 each. However when I got mine home I couldn't register the serial number it as it had already been registered, took it back to Halfords who reckoned somebody had bought it, taken it home downloaded the maps & brought it back. The manager said he could get it de-registered & give me £50 back if I wanted to keep it.
So that has brought us up to date, so the next question is what do I replace it with, I don't want mapping as for my eyes it too small, all I want is accurate GPS tracking, speed, elevation, temperature is a nice to have, cadence, multiple well 2 bikes, don't want to use my phone or a spare so whats out there, at a sensible price?
