Strengths:    Small but very easy to see big numbers

Weaknesses:    mount

Bottom Line:   
Unfortunately I haven't been able to use it due to the fact that the mount has broken 3 times putting it on the handle bars. The clock has a slim but big numbers and an easy interface to work with. The whole thing is a big button. It is easy to use while riding.

Strengths:    A great wireless computer for the money.

Weaknesses:    The manual could be more clear but if you slow down, read, and set it up right, you will be happy with this purchase. The pieces of the mounting bracket need to be pressed flush together. Do this until the pieces are secure. When this is done the computer itself will click into the bracket securely.

Bottom Line:   
I like it much better than the Cateye Vectra I had on my old bike. Slim and clean design. No buttons to push on the top of the unit, just press down on the screen to toggle between screens. The mounting bracket they give you with the nut to tighten is a great idea. I put the computer on the stem and it looks great and is easy to read.

Strengths:    Display is easy to read, and computer is not obtrusive at all. No problems so far, and I don't expect any as I have had good luck with most bike computers.

Weaknesses:    Mounting instructions should be more clear. The "nut" that is used to secure the mounting bracket strap should be called a "mounting bracket nut", and in addition to the little drawing that shows its function, there should be some text indicating what it does, and that it enables easy use of the computer on different bikes. This is the first bike computer I had that didn't use the tie wraps for mounting. So when the strap wouldn't "lock" I returned to the store thinking I had received a defective one. The third helper showed me how to secure the bracket with the nut. Its a great idea,especially compared to the single use tie wraps typically supplied, but it should be better explained.

Bottom Line:   
Does what it is supposed to do well (elapsed time, speed, distance). Easy to read display, and one touch function key is intuitive and convenient. Much like the MW100 I had previously; a little more compact, but lacks (unimportant to me) a backlight. Removeable mount a good idea, but the instructions should be more explicit on that point, and on mounting instructions generally. If you have an MW100 and need to replace it(mine lasted about 5 years before the computer would lose its settings while riding on bumpy roads) you can keep the old fork sensor/transmitter on your bike, and simply replace the computer and the mounting bracket.
