I purchased a Garmin Edge 500 back in March 2011 and it's still going strong. Only use a fraction of it's capabilities. The only thing I value is the display while riding; time elapsed, speed, distance. Do not need the other bells and whistles. Maybe I'll hook up my Polar HRM chest strap and check that out one day lol. I'll do rides now and then and only look at it to start, then to stop.
