The Garmin Bike Mount. This handy adapter lets you use ANT sensors and accessories - like the heart rate monitor, foot pod, and speed/cadence sensor - with the Garmin Fit iPhone app.
That may be why they also have a new design, but I can't afford a new computer for the bike
If the only way to secure a very expensive computer to a bicycle is with a cheap piece of (overpriced) plastic, then the computer should at least come with a short tether, so it doesn't get lost when the plastic attachment unit inevitably breaks.
When cycling with the unit mounted to the bracket it is also wise to wrap a rubber band around the unit and the handlebars so that when the bracket fails, you won't lose the computer too.
But I do have a mount on each of my bikes, I love the computer

After 7 years of use on a Garmin Edge 705 my mount broke
Eventually that piece broke off my previous mount, but not before I got plenty of use out of it.
If used the way it is designed to be used, the mount will not break.
My original mount, after lasting about 2 years riding at least twice a week on mountain bike trails, finally broke and this was the replacement that I purchased.
The fit with the Garmin is as good as the factory mount that came with the Garmin.
