The only question mark is whether the screen offers enough real estate for Your bike use.
For a race, yes. I'd probably only want to see total distance, elapsed time and 3s avg power.
But for all my use cases, no. There can never be one device to suit all my requirements given two are mutually exclusive:-
- small enough to wear on wrist for swimming/running (and I even wear it for 5-a-side)
- large enough for navigating on Audaxes
At the moment an Edge 705 + Forerunner 110 does me fine[1] and, as I said, I'm sure the latter could be upgraded to a 920xt but that's £££ better off used elsewhere at the moment.
- I don't use the Forerunner 110 for swimming. My local pool has Swimtag so I get my swimming data from that. If that goes (or I start swimming somewhere where that isn't available) then it's another reason to go for something like the 920xt.
Anyway, Garmin thread >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It doesnt need charging that much.
I think its Perfect as a run watch, and as a swim watch. The only question mark is whether the screen offers enough real estate for Your bike use. Its plenty for me.
I always used to say that my 910xt was my best training Investment. Basically because it idiot proofed training data logging for me. So i had Strava data etc. at hand, to help keep me motivated, and Train more. This is just a Whole New Level in that respect. I want simple when I'm training and super complex when I'm browsing later.
