Recharging the computer and the external battery, every day, is no fun, and may pose problem if you do not have readily access to the power grid.
You're clearly a fan of the Garmin Enduro but it's an expensive option and watch sized, which is a drawback for many. Garmin can clearly make some power efficient units so it would be nice for them to put some effort into their non-watch cycling computers.
