I'm currently using a
Garmin vivosmart 3 wrist monitor that transmits heart rate to my
Garmin Edge 830.
I like to keep things simple. I don't record data. Only wireless I have ever used as a computer for my trainer bikes. I have gone to an Element Bolt for its GPS (for a gravel event where it turned out it wasn't needed) and like it for speed and distance but have no plans to upgrade from there. I won't bring it to next week's Cycle Oregon so I don't have to think about charging it. I also like keeping the HR as the only thing on the watch dial. Easy to see. (Bike computers and poor focus on the road are probably the biggest cause of bike crashes now - just my observation. Leonard Zinn just pulled such a crash. You can read about it on the Velonews website')
