You don't swim with a watch I'm guessing? I think they have the same thing for the 910XT I'm using but I was concerned about it coming off in the water.
I had a quick connect on my 910XT which I used in the water for a couple of years and never had a problem, but it's not impossible that it could become disconnected if you were unlucky, especially in a crowded swim.
I then got a 920XT which I also use as a day to day watch so didn't want a quick release. Instead I kept the 910XT and that's now used as my bike display. The 920XT stays on my wrist and records everything but the 910XT is what I look at on the bike. With the quick release, the 910XT is nice and tidy on the bike, but it is a bit smaller than most bike specific head units. I'm perfectly happy with it in that role for the last 2 years. I don't use power outdoors (just virtually via KK Road Machine and Zwift) so I have enough screen real estate. I suppose it depends what you like to look at.
I currently have speed, distance, heart rate and cadence as my standard 4 field display. I can toggle to alternative screens for elevation, climb rate, averages, time etc, but I rarely refer to those. If I get power I'd probably switch either cadence or heart rate for power since the watch only allows 4 fields.
