Take a look at something like the Garmin Forerunner or Edge. I've had a Forerunner 305 for going on 3 years and love it. It came with a HRM that I've never used, but that wireless capability allowed me to mount a wireless cadence/speed sensor on the bike. I originally bought it for running, but it works fabulously as a bike computer and is perfect for duathlons. And since the sensor measures the back wheel rotations I can use it indoors on the trainer, too. I love looking at the maps and elevations profiles from my rides, too.
