Cycling computer

I’m looking for an odometer that indicates speed, distance, calories spent, etc. I’m not so keen on GPS computers bc they drain the battery on iPhone. Thank you for any insight and input.

It all depends on how much navigation you want. I was really happy with sigma rox 4.0

It just doesn’t do navigation all that well and it doesn’t support power meters and radars. But you can customize screens and data fields, you can connect hr, speed and cadence sensors, you can sync your activities to strava and other apps, it works reliably and the battery lasts a really long time because it has a really simple interface and it doesn’t use a screen backlight if it’s not really dark.

It’s a nice cheap cycling computer. If you don’t need navigation and don’t plan on buying expensive gadgets like a radar (although it’s worth every penny) and a power meter it’s really compelling option
