That's probably cost you over a minute now across all your rides.

The battery life on my Garmin Edge 800 isn't great if I am using the map to navigate. It died before the end of a 200km ride.
If you keep off the map screen except when you need it, and have the backlight settings on something sensible, it can last a pretty long time though. You can get the same kind of battery life off a mobile phone with an extended battery life with the screen off.
Garmin any day, no brand matches them. If you don't need maps, go for a 520 or save money by getting a 500 or 510
Your smart phone? It can do all the same stuff as an expensive Garmin. And you already own it.
That's true, but as I said, the GPS on mine is not working.
except the battery won't last for 100 mile rides if using it to navigate, also phones are not as waterproof as garmin, and if the garmin battery dies you still have a phone for back up/emergency calls, whereas once the phone battery is gone you'd better know where you are going and not need picking up.
