Instore in both branches of gloucester aldi, plenty of stock apparently so should be nationwide where stock is available.
Price reduced again, now £49.99, cheapest in the country.
Rrp was £109.99 but typically sells for £75 to £100.
Not the garmin 1000 but then again it doesn't cost £500.
Voted hot as it's a good deal, pity it has no cadence function.

Is a Garmin 200 definitely not a Garmin 1000?

Well it says garmin edge 200 on the label in that pic so I'd go with the 200 view

Best price I've ever seen on this but I couldn't live with it as once you get into it cadence is essential

so true, I've got an Edge 800 on my road bike and an Edge 705 on my mountain bike and honestly I rarely use the features that this computer hasn't got, but I do like to keep a record of my journeys and how fast they've been done. I sometimes use a HRT but realistically, no more than 10% of the time - I'd miss the mapping sometimes but for the price you get a pretty powerful machine.
This is the perfect computer for those of us who aren't called Bradley, don't have a professional contract and prefer a cadence to be what's comfortable, not what will allow me to get up a hill 0.1% faster.

it is a good price for a 200, but it's still a basic cycle computer. if you want something just to task basic stats there are much cheaper ones out there.

There aren't many better bike computers that have GPS tracking - most in this price range will be simple magnet and reed switch setups which are undoubtedly inferior if you want the best data and physical mapping.
Garmin do seem to have done something stupid with Garmin Express though and downloading any data from this has become a real chore recently...

I agree with you!! I picked up the technically better Mio cyclo-105 for £40 in the recent Halfords clearance.
The Mio 105 (like the Garmin ) has a GPS radio but in addition also has an ANT+ radio and ties in your ride effort with your tracked heart rate and cadence so more meaningful metrics. The Mio uses a barometric based altimeter and will be more accurate as opposed to the Edge 200 which uses a GPS based altimeter
Halfords Ruislip have a few left , if anyone's interested just make sure it's the Cyclo-105 and not the Cyclo-100 model which happens to be just like this basic Garmin-200 ( just GPS)

I'd say once you know what 90 rpm cadence feels like, you never need a cadence sensor anyway.

Nope. Just as a point, cadence is difficult to feel sometimes especially with tired legs and also when sprinting training knowing your cadence becomes fairly important. And sometimes you might want to train at a particular cadence etx.
Being honest, the Edge 200 is just a basic cycle computer that can be bought for a few quid with GPS. No heart rate or cadence functions SK Garmin Connect isn't that useful for analysis.
So I wouldn't buy.
