My issue with the Garmin is the wrist based oHR sensor. If you put it on the handle bar, you lose the HR data. If you put it on your wrist, its just hard to read.
What I have is the Fexni 3 on the handle bar, and the vivoActive HR on the wrist to broadcast the HR to my Fenix 3, so that it can collect HR data as well.
If you have to go with just one for cycling, I would do the cycling computer.

Amazon has this Garmin vívoactive HR GPS Smart Watch, Regular fit - Black on sale for 140 USD. It has a HR function, and can sync with the Cadence/speed sensors for the bike which is another ~40 extra, will also give elevation etc etc.
On the flip side, the other option is a dedicated bicycle computer like the 520 or 820, which is around 300 with the cadence/speed sensor.
Any opinions on using either? Main goal is to track cycling data, progress etc, eventually training for a century!
