Advantages: Compact, Cheap, Robust Disadvantages: Tricky to use
I have owned one of these for about 2 years now, and it is still going strong. It does all the usual cycle computer things, but also displays your heartrate, calories burned, etc. You can also programme to use on 2 separate bikes - very handy, when like me you have two bikes but don't want to shell out for two computers!!
SETUP AND USE
Easy to follow step by step instructions. When it comes to operating the computer unit, this is where you need patience. It takes some practice going through each programme, sub-programme, etc. This is one way that the unit can be kept the size that it is though. Once you have dialled in the settings specific to your bike, day to day use of the computer is easy.
POSITIVES
Large read out.
Back light - can be tricky to use though.....when it's dark.
Compact design.
Wireless speed sensor ...
Advantages: Looks good, very comfortable Disadvantages: Poor battery life, small buttons
Stylish, lightweight heart rate monitor

This is a very good looking watch, mine has a dark face, black rubber strap and white surround and five, round chrome buttons. The surround has some small text on it, but to be honest, its too small to read and is for show only. The face is larger than many sports watches, but is very discrete, and can be set to a dark backlight, so you'd be pushed to know it was an HRM. I happily wear it even on formal occasions.
Its very comortable to wear - the watch is very light, and the rubber strap is soft and pliant - needs tightening a notch before a run though. The heartrate strap is very comfortable and is better made than others I've owned, (Timex and Oregon). The shiny screen is very scratch resistant
Dislikes
Battery life on my particular watch hasn't been ...
