will it track my cycling distance?

NO! Any tracking would be totally inaccurate. It would only respond to motion of your legs and arms. If you're coasting, the mileage indicator would not record it. You'll need an odometer for that. jcp

I bought two of these watches and one the blanked out due to moisture in the watch. It is a water resistant watch but one of mine. Can some one please help, because it is not nice to spend money for something that is now not working.

I'm afraid it doesn't. It is an exercises device, not a going out info. It records your traject, speed, heights and other data like that. Good luck

So far I haven't used the Garmin while cycling with any specific alerts. It vibrates to alert me I've gone a mile. Then when I switch to running it still vibrates to alert me I've gone a mile. Is that what you mean?

If the specific Indoor Bike has an Ant+ compatible speed sensor then yes. Otherwise your speed and distance will always be zero as the unit relies on GPS to calculate speed and distance.

not sure. although it merrily tracked me doing over 40mph last week on my road bike :-)

If you're a heavy-duty cyclist, they have products specifically for cycling where you can enter the bike's weight and all sorts of other data, but as you've already discovered this can also be used for cycling. We've also used ours on hikes to measure how far we've walked. Can have some trouble getting a signal in some areas of the woods, though.

yes. it has a page called "trip computer" wehich can track total distance, total time, stopped time, moving average, stopped time and several other items.

The wire is pretty long...you could put the sensor on the rear wheel if you wanted to.....yes, it'll measure MPH or KM. A very cool feature of this unit is the SCAN mode; the unit will cycle 4 functions, ride time, distance, max speed & average speed, while also display current speed. It also has a "+" & "-" indicator to show above or below current average speed. It's a very sweet unit. The original battery won't last long, so get a nice 3 pack of Energizer 357 batteries.

As far as I know, it has lap time, overall time, transition time (triathlon), and I think it could give you time per activity (running, bike, swimming). What is that you want to measure?

I'm sure it would measure some movement, but it would not be an accurate measurement of how much he rode. There are bike odometers that you can attach to your bike wheel that measure distance and speed. My husband has one (I think by Bell) that he likes. There are charts that can help you convert other exercises into "steps". I try to get 14,000 steps a day, but if I swim I convert my minutes of swimming into steps. Hope that helps!

I've had the Loop since Christmas.... it does not track distances. I use the Strava App to track my distance

This model (Garmin part no. 010-12102-00) will measure cadence only. It attaches directly to the crank. Garmin also makes a speed and cadence sensor, that may end up wiring out for you (so you could calculate mph and distance). That model no. is GSC-10 and it will only work if your crank arm and flywheel overlap at some point. If they do, you may want to check that model out prior to settling for a cadence only sensor.

Yes, When you download your run data to your computer you will get a GPS map and the path you ran super imposed on in. At the bottom is a graph that will track pace, altitude, speed, and distance. It is my first GPS watch but I have been very pleased. No complaints.

Yes it will show current and average pace. You can set up what information is shown to you on your runs when you set up the software on your computer.

This is a Cyclin computer it measure riding speed, elapsed distance there are a model that include candence sensor to measure your caence (crank arm RPM) AND HAS INTEGRTED Clock

I attach it a few inches above the back of my knee when cycling and it's able to measure something. I can't say how accurate the burned calories are but it seems like it's close (comparing what it says to myfitnesspal's moderate cycling--my pace--for 45 minutes gives about the same numbers).It would be helpful if someone with a heart rate monitor compared its calories burned with those burned using the BodyMedia on the leg. I'm betting they won't be identical but will be pretty close.

Yes, it continuously records your time, distance, pace, calories burned and heart rate. It calculates elevation as distance above/below sea level (as per the User's Guide)
