After mulling this purchase over for months, I'm back at looking at the options, and trying to decide if I would use and benefit from this gadget?

- I want a watch to track walks, as well as riding on 3 or 4 different bikes so I'm thinking a watch rather than bike-mounted.

- I like logging my workouts online (self-confessed geek).

- I'd like to train more effectively, and see where I should be pushing myself harder.

So ... I've found a Bryton 60 which I'm quite taken with ($299) which compares in price to a Garmin 110? any feedback on these would be appreciated .. and also any other models in this price range that I should consider?

Also .. how useful is the HRM?

    Not a watch, but I use Endomondo and an iPhone 4s with a BT LE HR Strap.

    The phone works as a speedo and tracker and lives in a case attached to my bikes.

    I use a Garmin 910XT. Perfect for changing between bikes. Also suitable for when I paddle, run or swim. Buy the optional handlebar mount and just strap it on and the view is clear. You can program individual screens, auto scroll etc for all the info you need. The only down side is having to manually enter activities to MyFP. Don't know of any way to link the two.
    This option is far better than bike mounted if you run more than one bike. Also far more accurate.
