Wahoo Elemnt Bolt
Mixed feelings about it at the moment.
It cannot gather HR data from the Apple Watch 2. That may or may not be Wahoo's fault (it could be Apple's fault). But it's a drag because it means my ride data isn't aggregated in a single place. Strava on the watch will get HR data from the watch, but ride info gathered on the Bolt won't upload to Strava without quirks (either failure to write or duplicate entries). Granted, optical HR is supposedly less accurate (although the Apple one is supposed to be pretty good--especially for cycling, compared to running, since our hands stay relatively still). I haven't bothered to confirm. Looks like I'll need an HR strap, and then the two devices will live in separate universes.
EDIT: Oh, right. One other annoyance. A computer that can do all that the Bolt can, and yet, there's no feature to set interval alarms? Training programs appear to have to come from 3rd party apps (requiring payment after the trial period is up?) What if I just want the computer to beep every 30 or 40 seconds?
Apart from that, it's a nice little unit. Intuitive and very easy to use. The route-mapping was nice--routed me through some scenic roads. It was also pleasantly surprising--sent me up a fire road--although that might annoy other users.

The 2 options I looked at were both really good for the price.
Ended up going with some shoes by LG that are BOA with a Velcro strap at the toe like yours. BOA is really nice.

So far it seems ok. It opens wide enough and seems to be a comfortable fit. I haven’t worn them much yet though, so we’ll see. The few short rides I’ve done went well though.

Enjoy those brake pads, @TimothyH. Mine have been very good to me and have generally been quiet to boot.
Just recently mounted a new pair of WTB Riddler 37c tires. Also had my LBS order a nicer, properly sealed FSA headset to replace the "sealed" garbage that came stock.

Upping my ride pics game. Olympus TG-5 shockproof and waterproof so it should handle some gravel.
Actually it is a gift to the whole family for under the tree but I'll certainly bring it on some rides.
