Strengths: -Easy to install
-Accurate
-Nice large screen with multiple functions displayed.
- Easy to use
-Inexpensive
- Wireless
Weaknesses: None found yet.Bottom Line: I have had this unit for about 6 months. It was easy to install. I have read in other reviews that the sensor and the magnets have to be almost touching for it to read correctly. I have not had this problem. Mine reads fine and the sensor & magnets are no closer then on my wired units on other bikes. I have also read that battery life is bad. I have not changed a battery in the 6 months that I have had it so again I am happy with that. I will probably buy a set of batteries just to have ready.

Strengths: Clear ReadoutWeaknesses: See Review AboveBottom Line: Poor design, especially the speed sensor mounting system. I super glued the two parts or mine together and cut the back side lip off to eliminate any spoke rub and used zip ties. Also mounted to the front of fork to reduce any possible chance of sensor getting sucked into spokes. All sensor (speed & cadence) need to be mounted on same side or the bike or they don't both work. In my case the left.

Strengths: looks like a cyclocomputerWeaknesses: everythingBottom Line: This thing is a horrible piece of junk. I'll just cut to the chase:
-magnet must be so close to the sensor for the sensor to work that more often than not the magnet was hitting the sensor just to get a reading.
-eats batteries like crazy
-the sensor mount is poorly designed and never stayed put, requiring constant adjustment while riding. This is both dangerous and irritating.

Strengths: Ease of use, big screen, backlit.Weaknesses: Stopped reading whenever led lights or gps were switched on.Bottom Line: I have owned several sigma computers and have always found them to be easy to use and fit.I used the BC1606L wireless for only a short time though on my touring bike. I found that whenever I had my flashing LED light and/or my separate gps unit that the computer would stop reading and just act as if the bike was not moving. This happened with 2 diffeent brands of LED lights and the problem was never solved. I ended up going back to my wired sigma on my touring bike and the wireless sigma went onto my mountain bike only. No other problems apart from this.

Strengths: Wireless, readable screens, fairly easy to install, inexpensive, can be used on two bike (with additional sensors and mount) and stats accumulated.Weaknesses: difficult to follow manual. Speed sensor dropouts make it only marginally usable.Bottom Line: This unit has lots of good info on several screens. It is probably the cheapest of its type. 1 unit is usable on two bikes if you buy additional sensors. However, the speed sensor quits on mine after 1/2 hour even with a brand new battery, ruining the worth of an otherwise good computer. Restarting the sensor on the gois difficult and only a temporary fix.
