For longer touring and casual sport cycling I want to finally get my hands on a bike computer. Have used my phone so far, but I don’t like
- battery life
- water situation when it’s rainy
- arguably not too good for the camera stabilizer
My requirements are not too high I would say, but I would like
- connectivity to some peripherals (ANT+ I guess)
- ability to add GPX files and also extract them
- not buy myself into some cloud (or otherwise fenced) solution
What it boils down to: What would be the least restrictive brand out there?
I am aware of https://github.com/hishizuka/pizero_bikecomputer but currently I don’t see myself tinkering that much – since I do longer tours I need some kind of decent case, a way to take it off and be a little tough.
(Sorry if this is not he perfect place, I could not think of another community that would fit well)
The Coros runs a little cheaper and has great battery life. I’ve been a Garmin user forever but am looking to move away due to the fact that they can’t get their stuff to behave well with ANT+ devices a lot of the time. I don’t know if anyone else is any better, but I’m willing to try.
