This is the exception though as most people use the cycling Garmins which charge with a USB cable.
Given that plugging the USB cable in to charge is required with these Garmins anyway, it's insane to buy a new Garmin just for the bluetooth upload function @Velocio
Especially as you have an 800 which I've found to be very reliable aside from it's dislike of rides over about 160 miles.
When I plug my Garmin in to charge Garmin Connect pops up automatically and uploads my activity to Strava for me. It couldn't really be easier.

I'm pathologically lazy and have an etrex. Charging that involves swapping AA batteries for ones off the charger.
I just leave Bluetooth on all the time so rides get uploaded whenever they finish.
The only manual thing I have to do is occasionally clear out old activities. Even having to do that is something I find disproportionately annoying.
