My question though is oriented towards "GPS cycling computers". Trying to get a sense as to where the market is currently, is Garmin still considered a flaky product, etc...

The only reason I have an 810 is I started using Garmin Connect, having used Endomondo. I hated the Endo swim log system, then found the Garmin swim watch, which like your fitness watch, works very well, as does Connect (for me). Nobody else, as far as I've discovered, does swim logging as well as Garmin.
