For some that enjoy long rides/Century/Gran Fondo events, it could be troublesome, since you would like the events being recorded accurately. As a result, I've seen people using two devices to record their important rides. In addition to my Garmin 520, I always use Strava on my Apple Watch in the paid cycling events.
Interesting result ?
I ride long hrs nearly every weekend for a few years now on Garmin Edge Explore, and 130
Not a single failure
