I am thinking about replacing my wired Cateye cycle computer with something that has both heart rate and cadence included. My Polar heart rate monitor / wrist watch is a little hard to read while riding and having it incorporated with the cycle computer may be a better idea. Currently, I do not have cadence and thought it might be a good training tool. Any thoughts on this?
There are a few units I have looked at:
* The Garmin Edge 305 looks like it does everything that I could ever want in a cycle computer, but at $300 might it might be a little pricy.
* Polar makes the CS200cad which is cheaper but the display looks a bit crowded.
* The Wintech HR is simpler. It has a three line display, speed, HR and cadence in a large easy to read display.
Ideally I would want a stopwatch, speed, distance, HR and cadence displayed. The Garmin may be the only cycle computer that will display all this data easily on one screen.
Any other cycle computer I should consider? My biggest complaint with most cycling computers is that the font is too small for my eyes.
