HG, 2 things on the battery life on the sensor:

1. You can buy medical grade batteries which seem to last longer.

2. When you put your bike where ever when you end a ride, make sure you haven't left the sensor & magnet aligned as that will drain the battery.

We always turn the crank arms so that the magnet and sensor are 180 degrees from each other. (It's the planets, I tell ya!)

Great tip re: medical batteries -- thanks!

I have a forerunner that my father gave me for Christmas, but i haven't taken it out of the box yet. I seem to do fine with my cycling computer.

tulip, at least with the edge, if you never have it, you don't miss it. & a standard cyclometer suits. But you try it you will get addicted. Cycling metrics crack.
