My Garmin GPSmap 60CSx is getting physically tired. Thinking about getting a 64s as a replacement. I use it to record bike rides and other ramblings, just turn it on, throw it in my pack, and dump the data on return.

Anybody else still using a dedicated GPS as opposed to their phones?

have you considered something bike specific like the Edge series? or are you looking for a general / multipurpose GPS device.

The garmin fenix 3 or 5 has appealed to me.

My SIL gave me a polar m400 which I use on most rides. Works okay... doesn’t give live elevation though.

FWIW, my vivoactive HR has GPS and syncs with a smartphone app.

I have the Fenix 3 HR ... 10/10 would bang again.

those look great except they are humongous.

Yeah. The 5s is supposedly smaller. My wrists are pretty dainty.

Suunto Alpha Traverse, I'm happy with it for diverse array of outdoor needs.

one thing i like about my garmin (and i believe the edge has this capability as well) is that it has the wireless capabilities to connect to a (garmin) heart rate chest strap

I like the TomTom multisport watches, inexpensive, very rugged, accurate GPS, somehow useful heart rate if you are into those things, but they stopped future development.

I use a Garmin 910xt multisport watch.

The way I see these is that you could use it on your wrist...or handlebar... or stuff it in a pack

Multipurpose. Don't want to look at it while riding, found that to be distracting, don't give a shit about heart rate or other physiological data, occasionally mark waypoints, use it on foot for boundary work, mapping of tree or animal habitat locations or geological features...
