Strengths: Wireless, simple and to the pointWeaknesses: No back light, stupid calorie and fat functions, poor documentation.Bottom Line: After I purchased this product I started looking for installation hints and found this page. I guess I was one of the lucky ones as mine worked fine from the beginning.
All I wanted was a simple wireless unit with speed, odometer, and a clock. This one also has maximum speed and trip odometer which I consider a nice touch. I wish there was a way to disable the calorie and fat counter, which IMO is a worthless feature, considering how it is little better than a wild guess. For instance, it gives you the same caloric credit whether you are pedaling uphill or coasting.
The #1 deficiency is that it doesn't have a back light. Very annoying if you ride at night.
Bottom line; for the price you could do a lot worse. Put a button with a back light so it could be used in the dark and it would be a solid 5

Strengths: big display, cheap price, easy installWeaknesses: Doesn't work !!Bottom Line: Same as others didn't work out of box.
Got intermittant signal. Sensor is working (can hear a 'tick' as magnet passes sensor). Haven't tried a new battery in sensor but will give it a go but i'm not feeling confident after reading other bad reports :(
Have emailed Sette and Pricepoint to get replacement v2 (which is "all new and redesigned" hmmm wonder why ?!?").
Caveat emptor doesn't work here as it's from a big manufacturer that should produce working products. Maybe less features, weaker build or shorter lifespan but DOA isn't acceptable IMHO.
Will post followup if Pricepoint/Sette come to the party and send a gratis WORKING V2 in good faith. have always had EXCELLENT service from Pricepoint and my other Sette products work great...will wait n see :/

Strengths: Nice display. Easy to scroll through functions.Weaknesses: Doesn't work. Instruction book is difficult to read. Better to just start clicking buttons. But as I said before, it doesn't work so why bother.Bottom Line: Buy something else. The display looks great but it arrived with low batteries and after replacing the batteries I've never gotten the display to show any signs of talking with the transmitter.

Strengths: Large numbers on the screenWeaknesses: Everything except large numbers. I have already been through two batteries, had to reset the computer 5+ times, the computer only works 50% of the time, and several other complaints.Bottom Line: Do not purchase this product. Save your money and put it towards a computer that costs a litlle extra money. This is a true case of "you get what you pay for!"

Strengths: Large displayWeaknesses: It sucks. Same as the other reviews. Although the clock has functioned fine.Bottom Line: I replaced the batteries and still the comp had to be within 8" of the transmitter to receive the signal. I returned it for another one and experienced the same problem. My brother has had the exact same problem as well. Very poor quality and or design. DO NOT BUY THIS.

Strengths: Big visible numbersWeaknesses: Once in a while it stops working for a few minutes and I can't figure out why.Bottom Line: I haven't had many problems. It's not the best computer out there but for what I paid, it's well worth it. As I stated earlier, it does seem to stop working for short periods at a time but it's pretty rare. And it usually only last a few minutes. I haven't been able to figure out why this happens but it does. When I first bought this, the batteries were dead. I called PricePoint and they immediately shipped out 3 extra batteries. That's what the fella below should have done. PricePoint stands behind the product and I'd purchase another one if I needed one. If you're looking for the greatest wireless computer out there, spend some real cash on one. But if you're looking for an affordable wireless computer, this is hard to beat.

from PADate Reviewed: May 3, 2005
Strengths: Has not worked long enough to find one.Weaknesses: I bought this an upgrade from a worn out computer with minimum functions. When I first installed it the battery was dead in the transmitter. After buying a replacement battery it worked for about a week. About a week later the battery died in the computer unit itself. I replaced that battery (thats $8 wasted already on batteries). Later that day I was riding it in the woods and it shut off again. The computer is now in the landfill. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.Bottom Line: I WANT MY MONEY BACK!
