The Edge 500 sounds attractive - I am leaning more away from having maps as I figure I wouldn't be able to read the screen anyway. If'en I am truly exploring then shame on me if I don't have paper maps...
Polar does not seem to sell my HRM any longer and I can't seem to find the model number. I think it is an older version of the FT7 and I like it a lot. My strap is on it's last legs, has been for months, but I am resisting replacing it until it no longer works at all.
The new version can be found here, and it seems to have at least one feature that mine doesn't have. I like the looks of my version better, but it is a fine HRM.

I think the Garmin FR60 will do what you want (including cadence). Just a thought if you don't want to go GPS based.

I have a Polar F6 about like already posted. A Garmin Edge 705 for outside with cad & hrm kit.
You wouldn't be able to get cad on the spin bike unless it had a sensor or it's own puter. We used to have those at one of my gyms. It would pick up my Polar hrm. Cleaning spray & sweat ruined them unfortunately with alot member use. At home you may have better luck.
My Polar also just makes a nice sport watch. It's water proof, so wearing it to the beach, or gardening/watering etc. it's safe to not get trashed. My watch piece has lasted me 6yrs now. Just had strap replacement / batt with batt service for watch piece. Fwiw.
