While I'm asking daft questions, any experiences with Garmin watches for recording everyday cycling mileage etc? I've got an Edge Touring Plus that I use for real riding. However, the club mileage competition, forum threads on mileage tracking and so on have got me trying to record every ride - my commuting/utility mileage probably exceeds everything else.
I was looking at a small, basic cycling GPS for these everyday rides, but I now find myself recording other activity as well, partly as a result of a recent cardiac bypass. My wife bought me a Vivosmart 3, and I've used it far more than I ever expected, for recording steps and as a basic heart-rate monitor when exercising, but it doesn't do cycling (no GPS) and it doesn't link to chest straps. As well as recording other activities, a watch would work with whatever bike I happened to use at the time, and it's more natural than fitting a GPS for short utility rides.
I've no plans to give up the Touring Plus for Audaxes, so something that just records every bike ride and sends it to Garmin Connect seems the ticket to me - as long as I can use a chest strap with it when doing gym exercises.
I can see, though, that having to start and stop the tracking for every ride would be a pain, as would anything that took a while to find its satellites.
I notice that Blacks are doing a really good price on the Fenix 5 at present. That's a bit high-end for me, as I don't need fancy features. There again...
