So my garmin 200 appears to be dying after 3 years, which is pretty disappointing. As of late, half the time it works and half the time when I try to start it up there is this weird pattern of data on the screen and it won’t work. Looking for a new gps unit that is reliable, durable, cheap and simple in terms of functions (speed, distance, auto stop, elevation, average speed mostly, I think. I do not need something that downloads workout files to a computer anything like that). Be grateful for any recommendations.

Say under $100 lezyne has some decent bike computers. As does cateye. Bryton also.

I have a Bryton 310. It has more capabilities than you want, but it's only $75. So far it works great (only had it a few months).

If you want cheap: https://www.amazon.com/...gps+cycling+computer
I have one of these, and it works great for the functions you describe. I ended up upgrading to a lezyne since I wanted to wirelessly upload by files, and not just have this as a head unit (I also wanted power support and DI2 gearing readout).

garmin always makes quality products. yes a bit more expensive but completely worth it in my opinion.
Have you already contacted Garmin? They have excellent customer support.
