Super bike computer - except the battery life.
If you can and want to do without GPS functionalities like me, then this bike computer covers all needs. I am thrilled by its complete equipment (comes with chest strap for heart rate measurements and with step sensor) and the many measurement options and the associated partly graphical display options of all measurement options (eg altitude profile, heart rate profile and countless more).
Initially, I missed a simple stopwatch but with the lap function you can analyze all segments of a bike tour not only temporally but also in terms of all other data such as distance, altitude, heart rate and much more and so it is altogether no problem or this function is far superior to a normal stopwatch. However, you can't - and this is a small disadvantage - while riding on the pass and stopping the time, look in the middle of the ascent to see how much time has already passed (if you tried, the Lap function would start a new segment with another measurement and you don't want that).
The biggest drawback of this velocomputer is the battery consumption, which is unusually high for me. I actually have to read the "battery low" display every two weeks and then insert a new battery. Inserting the battery in this model is also quite tricky and needs a lot of skill and patience. Therefore, I give it only four stars.
Apart from that a very good velocomputer.Pro
- Very large range of functions
- Large display
- Altitude measurement
- Heart rate measurement
- Step sensor measurement
- Complete scope of delivery
- Temperature measurement
Contra
- I have to change the battery every 2 weeks
- Changing the battery is not easy
The software is very complete, but the plastic is very weak, be careful when changing the battery, the opening will break very quickly
The battery compartment is so weak that everything is broken after the first opening, the plastic has no resistance, I estimate that in two or three battery changes the device would be unused. I think that in two or three battery changes the device would be unusable. It's a pity because it works very well and is very complete, but the plastic is very fragile.

Otherwise everything was good.
Only the delivery took too long.
It used to be much quicker.
