Hate to say it but in some respects your price point is a bit unrealistic. A 130 might be OK, but battery life isn’t stellar, as well it’s a small unit and limits how many fields on the data screen. Not sure what is going to work for you at a less then $200 price. Garmins are usually very rock solid and offer features that a Bryton or Lezyne might not, including the web app and Connect website and ability to use other activity trackers. I would say raise your price point and get an Edge Explore 2. It’s mostly a mapping and navigation unit, does not have most of the performance and training features of the 40 series - 540/840/1040. I started out only really wanting the ability to track an activity and upload to an activity tracker, then discovered the ability to easily create online routes and download that to the device. It’s changed how I do remote rides as I have a navigable map on screen. Ya never know, that might be useful to you at some point.
