Review by RichardReviewed 9/27/2021by RichardCycling EnthusiastSpring Lake ,MI4 of 5 customers found this review helpful.This is Basic Computer which offers all you need.This product offers what I need such as: Total distance, Avg. speed, Max Speed, and energy CAL used.
Only thing that would be nicer would be Cadence but that is a lot for this price point.

Review by VeloMacReviewed 6/12/2015by VeloMacCycling EnthusiastTexasHillCountry. 26 of 38 customers found this review helpful.Spare me the Carbon Offset. Do we really need a carbon offset? I can think of nothing I would be less likely to pay for than carbon offset. Idiots should know that most of us ride for exercise and not as a commuter to work. One function more than needed. Where is the 8? Having said that, it is easy to read, easy to set up, and functions well as a basic cyclocomputer. You don't HAVE to look at the offset. Perhaps I should forgive Cateye their political correctness this time. -)

Review by DaveReviewed 1/15/2015by DaveCycling EnthusiastSan Francisco East Bay23 of 23 customers found this review helpful.Very reliableI've tried several wireless computers and have found them all to be unreliable. This one has been 100% reliable with no failures whatsoever for over 6000 miles on my commuter bike. The numbers are big and readable and it tells you everything you really need to know for a daily commuter. Battery life has been very good with no problems when I routinely changed it at 3000 miles.
The one complaint I have is that you can't individually change any settings without zeroing out all data. Example, you just can't change the tire size setting without losing your running total on your odometer. You will also zero out your data when you change the battery and I can't find a way of adding the running total to my odometer.

Review by BigDave Reviewed 4/24/2017by BigDave Daily CommuterMurrieta CA12 of 12 customers found this review helpful.Basic Product with One FlawI have already lost two of these exact same Cat Eye's. Unfortunately they slip out of the holder far too easily. I have now had to resort to taping the unit down into the holder and even then I have found a simple bump is enough to dislodge the unit. Needs to have a design change where a release involves a positive press on some lock to remove the unit.
If I lose this one it will be the third strike.

Review by FFA riderReviewed 1/30/2017by FFA riderCycling EnthusiastPortland OR5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.simple and easy to useHave the Velo 7 on my other bike for many years in all kind off weather and I am very satisfied with it. Don't care much for the 2 extra functions but it was on sale. Great battery life and the display is easy to read. Very important when going 25 MPH and looking down. And it is wired, much more reliable and less batteries that can go dead. The operation of the unit is also very simple, just one button can do it all.

Review by DBCSteveReviewed 10/23/2012by DBCSteveCycling EnthusiastDavis, CA7 of 7 customers found this review helpful.Excellent, large numbers, inexpensive, easy to install, good featuresThis and the similar Velo 7 (which may be all that most cyclists need) are excellent CatEye bike computers. I have had a number of computers over the years, and a constant complaint are the numbers are sometimes hard to see at a glance. These numbers are very large. This series of computers benefits from the many years of bike computer manufacturing by CatEye. The only thing not perfect about this is a wireless option! Biketiresdirect.com also has the best prices and availability - better than Amazon too! Order more than $100 at a time to get free shipping on orders.

Review by SBBikerReviewed 1/29/2015by SBBikerCycling EnthusiastSanta Barbara, CA5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Everything needed . Nothing unnecessary.I use this on a commuter bike, mounted in a discrete, less traditional location to keep the look of my WorkCycle simple. The easy-to-read display allows quick information gathering and the button, ease of use.
