It’s a couple of years since I looked much at bike computers but as I’m getting a new bling bike I might take the chance to put a new computer on as well.
Currently using a Polar 725X, which is one of the watch-style ones that goes around a mount. I don’t really need that style, it was just what they had at the time – I’d prefer a stem mounted fitting.
But a more general question – any recommendations on computers. The Polar is OK but just OK… there are some things about it that are really annoying and I find it prone to bad interference from mobile masts and other computers. Plus getting batteries and spares is a pain. They either make it impossible to do yourself or you have to buy a whole kit when you’ve lost a bit.
Not bothered about maps, though I like the idea of ‘ghost’ racing that Garmin do, and not worried about power meter either, although having it as an option later is a slight plus.
Must do cadence, HRM and download data.
I get the impression Garmin have a few more features in similar price ranges to Polar. Are there any other contenders out there ?
