I took the plunge a few weeks ago and got myself the Garmin Edge 800 cycle computer. I have previously had a Garmin Edge 305 and had a good experience with it.
Straight out the box the heart rate monitor did not work BUT it was very easy with Wiggle to get a replacement sensor mailed out. I have been using the 800 for daily bike rides in all weathers and temperatures. At night the display is easy to see and in day it is also easy. GPS has worked fine and the sat nav maps are there but I have only used them a couple of times. I have not used the sat nav with a downloaded route nor am I currently using the cadence sensor.
The fixing device to the handlebar is very simple and effective and the device is quickly fitted and removed from the bike.
I like stats and therefore I like downloading the data to Garmin Connect. I used to use a Garmin program on my computer to record my rides but it crashed once and I lost my data.
