Got a cat eye,its as much use as a chocolate fireguard.Too small to read,too fiddly to set up,& far too complicated.
Any nice simple ones,with big numbers?

Sigma BC1609

As per always it depends on budget. I've just upgraded to a Garmin Edge 800 as I'm now doing a lot more cycling on routes I'm not familiar with. Before that I had a Sigma BC1909 and had no problems. Plus I found Sigma's customer service department to be excellent!

Far too much information on the 1909.Speed/distance/time would suit fine.

If you have an iPhone get a wahoo case and kit amazing thing and as you'd have your phone with you anyway adds very little weight

How do you find the mounting bracket? Haven't taken it out cycling yet but it feels like the computer could detach from the bracket, that is cable-tied to my handlebars, really quite easily, even during cycling??

 

[ushills]

Never detached, just make sure you fit it fully in the bracket.

It won't come out unless you knock it.

Mine arrived 3/8/12, works great, more info than my Halfords 8 function, I have had since 2008, though in fairness you only use one or two while cycling. The cadence is good, it confirms roughly what I thought avg of 83 on my 10 mile loop last night. The max seems to be a problem though shows max of 99, I dont think I got that fast, I will be out later, and I will see.

As mentioned above get a Sigma. I used to have a basic Cateye Velo 8 on my commuting bike until it lost itself off it's mounting. I replaced with a basic Sigma the BC1009. It has a bigger display, a safer mounting system and it also allows you to put in an odometer reading if required. Something that you cannot do on the Velo 8 which is pretty crap IMHO.

£7 cycle wireless computer from LIDL. The menu/screen header is a bit difficult to read. But for the price and functionality it's a good deal. It was giving mis-readings but a new spoke magnet sorted that out and now all is well.

Count 8 from Decathlon. The easiest computer I've ever had. Set up was a doddle, fitment a piece of cake, screen is a good size and it just works, simple

I also use Strava & Cyclemeter so I just want to see my speed and distance at a glance, and TBh the Count 4 would ave probably been fine for what I wanted.

I can't recommend these computers highly enough
