Hi Janine. I'd agree with your assesment of the Bryton. A daily or alternate day (mine was good for 36hrs of riding) download is required to free up memory. Although Its not ideal, it's much better than other handle bar mounted options available, and well priced. I dont think the watch option would be any better (from a storage point of view or battery life), and at my age I need a bigger screen than the watches offer, but I dont have any experience, so would be interesting to see what the watch guys say? The suitable watches are Forerunner 45 or 55.
