Hi.
Ive been using my Garmin edge 25 for a good year and unfortunately the battery is struggling to last on my longer rides.
Overall its been good, but does get a little temperamental from time to time when uploading my rides.
Looking at the other offerings that garmin sell they do come in quite expensive and have way to many features for me.
A cheaper option i was thinking about was to get a cheap phone that i could simply dedicate to just using strava and the occasional phone call in an emergency. I would ideally want it to be small. Ive also noticed on ebay some stick on locking mounts that are compatible with garmin. This would mean a phone wouldn't look out of place on my existing garmin front mount.
As for battery life the phone would need to be able to cope with 6 hr plus rides when i occasionally do them. If the battery does die i could always take a small power bank to top it up.
Are there any phones out there that you could recommend. Cheap but with decent GPS accuracy and decent battery life or am i asking for the impossible from a cheap phone.
All the very best,
Johnny
