It has served me well, but as I mentioned, the tracking is proving to be less accurate than say smart phones these days.
I'm not saying I'm not interested in a new GPS, but it seems that to get more accurate tracking (5hz) and say a longer run time, you're forced into getting all of the other things which also drives the price up.
This is something which is hardly unique to Garmin, it seems everyone is doing this these days (£31 to watch the world cup, because you can't have it without the football and all the other rubbish for example). So I guess this is a bit of an old man shouting at clouds post.
The cheapest garmin bike GPS is £170 that I can see after a quick search (Edge 130 plus), which is beyond what I'm willing to pay in order to slightly improve the accuracy over my Edge 25, or a smart phone which I already own. If a bare bones, accurate tracker with good battery life was available, in the region of ~£100 I'd be all over it. Literally just tracking, no heart rate monitor, maps, air times, power meters etc.
