CATEYE Wired Bike Computer – Entry-Level Speedometer and Odometer, Perfect for Beginner Cyclists, Auto Start/Stop, Easy Setup for Road, MTB, Gravel Bikes, 3 Year Battery Life

Good basic device for beginners and it is accurate
Easy to install and set up (tire circumference is important so be sure to follow instructions), it doesn’t have a lot of the extra things that I don’t need or want. The carbon and calories measurements don’t really matter to me because there are a lot of variables that can impact them. It’s easy to see what is on the screen and switching modes is very simple. It is accurate, I used GPS to check the speed and distance. It appears to be sturdy enough and the wire is solidly in place. I was a little disappointed by how thin the wires are compared to the device it was replacing. This is perfect if all you want are the basics.

Simple-Works Well
This unit is being used in an urban area as a trip meter and speedometer. The product itself is fine for the price and delivery was good as well. The meter is small and easy to use in operation on a bike. The set-up is a bit contorted because the printed instructions were unclear; the instructions on the Cateye site were different from those that came with the meter. The Internet instructions answered questions that were not covered in the package. The mounting using cable ties is a bit hokey, and I’d rather have a better system. The bracket could be better for releasing the electronics package from the mounting bracket. The accuracy of the measurements depend upon how well the circumference of the wheel is determined based on the size of the wheel. This system is dependent upon the accuracy of the data put into the device and has inherent error and variability, which is NOT a fault of the machinery, but the associated information from the bike. I also would prefer the unit to be shipped inoperative with a new battery that would be activated by the user–it comes with a low-cost battery installed, and I do not look forward to having to reset the input data when the battery weakens. While this review is critical of some minor flaws in this system, overall this is a very nice product for a fair price, and provides a range of information that is helpful for casual bikers.

Excellent speedometer/odometer
The instructions are okay but they leave out some steps. The magnet and sensor must be installed on the right side of the bike. The wire between the sensor and the display base is not long enough to mount the sensor on the rear wheel. The magnet mounts on a wheel spoke and the sensor mounts on a fork. As you go radially inward from the outside of the wheel to the hub, the distance between the wheel spokes and the fork decreases, so you have to find the “sweet spot” where the distance between the magnet and the sensor is 5 mm (3/16 inch) or slightly less.The wire ties that come with the speedometer/odometer are light duty (0.10 inch wide). They must be used to mount the display base because larger wire ties will not fit through the slots in the display base. But for all other wire ties, I recommend heavier duty (0.19 inch wide) wire ties to make the installation stronger. Use sunlight resistant (black) wire ties. Use plenty of wire ties but make sure you leave slack in the wire in the right places to allow the wheel to turn all the way to the left and right without pulling the wire taut.I set my speedometer/odometer for 26 inch to match my 26 inch bike. I checked the accuracy between mile markers on the bike path I use and the calibration was perfect.When you start riding, the speedometer/odometer turns on automatically. However, it doesn’t seem to turn off completely (after a time period of non-use, half of the display goes blank). I cannot find a way to turn it off completely, to conserve the battery. The battery is supposed to last 3 years – time will tell if that is true.Overall, I am very pleased. This speedometer/odometer does everything I wanted, and so far it is working very well.

Ya había tenido anteriormente uno de la misma marca, el cual dejo de funcionar después de varios años de uso, por lo que decidí comprar otro de la misma marca y hasta el momento me ha funcionado sin ningún problema, fácil de configurar e instalar, si lo volvería a comprar

Easy to setup and use. Hopefully battery life will be good but too soon to say as I only just got it. Small with a clear screen to see current speed and other information.
