I'm borrowing an Etrex with a view to using one on the TCR.
Within minutes of getting it and riding over Walthamstow Marshes, I felt something drop off my bike and after checking jersey pockets/saddle pack/usual things it took me a good 10 mins to notice it was the Etrex that had gone cos it's not part of my usual set-up. Cue 'needle in a haystack' moment of me retracing my steps and peering in bushes and puddles trying to find the fucking thing.
Things learned
- They bounce quite far
- They are waterproof
- They bounce quite far

I only use mine as a backup so it's rarely on the bars. When I'm racing the phone or GPS sits over it so it can't really bounce out. Almost lost it a few times when testing it out though. Thankfully I had the lanyard on because I didn't trust the mount.
Almost lost my Sony phone in similar fashion. The Quadlock mount simply does not stick to the glass/plastic back of Xperia phones.
hippy
The legit Etrex mount from Garmin is fucking shit. Definitely have a lanyard backup if you use that £12 pile of shit.
