I don't mount the watch on the bars. Even if I wanted to they wouldn't really be amenable to it, and that would give up the buzz which is very noticeable on the wrist.
I would. I use it with a Hammerhead Karoo that has a small BT speaker paired with it. HH's implementation of the Varia Radar interface includes a top of class set of audio warnings. I actually rely on those much more than I do the visual indicators on the computer display. I can see where a vibration would take the place of my audio alerts and both are better the visual warning. The audio alerts both from the Garmin Varia head end or the Garmin computers are next to worthless given the crappy piezo electric buzzers they use.
I also ride with a
tiny mirror on my sunglasses and I use the audio alert as a cue to check my six.
