Ive got a 705 and never use the maps,pretty crap I think (I have got the road one though)
I like to set goals for mileage and use it for running,I like the virtual partner as well but don't like having something else to carry when running and I've got a few bikes with 50mm stems and hate it on the handle bars

So thinking of selling it and getting a garmin watch just not sure which one though,all the watches seem aimed at runners

Put it on the top tube.

The new 901 is a triathlon watch, it has all the functions of the garmin bike computers without the navigation function.

The old 305 Forerunner is quite good

Has HR/cadence etc

As always, it depends how much you want to spend. 910XT and 310XT are aimed at multisport, hence have bike functionality. I've just bought a 910XT which is great (and has the advantage of a barometric altimeter for accurate ascent values), but it's not cheap.

What about an edge500 think you can get a wrist band to wear it as a watch?
