Default GPS speed meter

Hey guys, need some help on a good and reliable gps speed meter. I have been looking at the Dynamite gps speed meter and the Garmin... I know that the Garmin are a great brand, however they are alot more money. I don't mind paying the extra money but don't want to if i don't have to. I am using it for surface rc and all for speed, not tracking or anything else really. Any advice would be great!
Cheers

Look for the Cateye Stealth Evo+ Cycling Computer.

Here is a link: CC-GL51 | CATEYE

It is small and lightweight. I have used these in my fast electric boats to track speeds when doing prop changes. Changing props on a boat is kinda like changing pinions/gear ratio on a car.

Sky RC has one. So does Horizon. Similar but Horizon version has some updates over the skyrc one.

Here’s the SkyRC

I’ve got a couple of the SkyRC. Works for me. I don’t have ability to fully use it for all the info. But I get the basics
