Cons: sensor wire short for rear mounted sensor, buttons could be a little more tactile, small digit size may be a little difficult to read if you are older I got this to measure the speed/rpm/timer from the rear wheel during winter training when my bike is mounted on the trainer. I already have a wireless CatEye Padrone computer on the bike, but didn't want to bother unclipping that sensor from the front fork. The BoGeer computer is a good inexpensive unit, but I found the wire is too short for rear wheel mounted sensor (unlike the other review) with the computer mounted on the stem. The cable is too short be strapped to the frame. It's ok for my setup though since I'm only using it indoors with my trainer. The BoGeer digits are small in comparison to the CatEye Padrone, but in fairness the Padrone's are considered huge. I can't comment on how visible the BoGeer is in sunlight and how weather resistant it is. The first pic shows the sensor mounted on the chainstay. The second pic shows the cable running in mid air from the sensor to the computer mounted on the stem. If you want to keep your budget to under $10US on a bike computer, then the BoGeer may be a good choice for you. I'll be getting more serious about my road bike riding this coming summer, and will be upgrading from both the CatEye and BoGeer to the Garmin 520 and mounting the wireless Garmin speed sensor on the rear hub.

- Very functional for it's price.
- Fog resistant (not absolutely sure, but worked nice in my case).
- Wire is long enough to set detector on rear wheel. - Hard buttons
- Under bright sun digits can be hard to see.
- Weak dynamic element (on a wheel). Can be rotated by any grass or branch (on the...

- Wire is long enough to set detector on rear wheel. - Hard buttons
- Under bright sun digits can be hard to see.
- Weak dynamic element (on a wheel). Can be rotated by any grass or branch (on the forest road) and odometer stops odometring. It's plastic, so it can not be overvixed with internal screw, but it can be mounted with glue, of coarse.
- Needs some fixes, just like almost any cheap plastic device :) In my case battery was not fixed enough, so some digit sectors disappeared. I had to put there some insulating tape between battery and locking case. Good deal, if you can't get something more expensive

The design is not very good but it works fine, as the famous other I had before
