    I found good review about bike computers https://www.bestadvisers.co.uk/bike-computers. Garmins are included. In my opinion CatEye is better, but I don't need a lots of from it.

    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.

    Yup!
    Better start the search for credibility immediately as it appears to be gone. :lol:

    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    And you think that is a good review?

    As far as I can see they are all out of date models. Some by years! :shock:

    My Wahoo element bolt ran out of battery today and my 140km ride was not registered. Very nice.



    Do Garmin computers have an auto-save in case it runs out of battery? And is it worth switching to Garmin?

    You know you road 140km. The computer isn't going to pat you on the back. In fact no one is. Sounds like a good long ride. Take it and be happy.

    Another vote for the Wahoo Elemnt (mine is the BOLT). I got so fed up with Garmin firmware debacles, am never going back. My Wahoo just works and I get the impression it was designed by someone who actually rides a bike! Battery lasts ages.
