79% liked the seamless connectivity, but 21% experienced pairing issues
I appreciated the wireless transmission distance of the computer, which was my primary concern, particularly at this price level.
I found that the wireless version of the product does not state the maximum distance for the computer to read the sensor. Additionally, with my high rise handle bars for upright riding and the max sensor placement for my bike at 30 inches, the computer could not get a reading.
An LED light can disrupt the communication between the sensor and the computer.

82% appreciated its durability, though 18% experienced issues in the rain
My experience with Cateye computers has been that they work almost forever.
I prefer to stick to a wired Cateye Velo for a sturdier and more reliable transmission between magnetic sensor and computer.
Sometimes the sensor gets knocked out of alignment on rough roads.
I get 2 to 3 seasons out of the product and eventually something starts to malfunction. I also question whether it is due to planned obsolescence.
