Strengths:
measures temp, heart rate, and has a clock
Weaknesses:
didn't measure any speed
Bottom Line:
i dunno maybe mine is broken or maybe there is too much interferance somewhere. but i mounted this on and it would not measure speed. it measured my heart rate though with no issues. the only time i ever saw a speed reading was when it i wasn't moving. i was going 11-13MPH while standing still. i think i will return it.

Strengths:
It wireless! Large display. VERY cool bracket to mount to almost any handlebar.
Weaknesses:
The range on the Heart Rate Monitor is crap. The display is not very bright.
Bottom Line:
I have bought two of these bike computers, one of me and one for a friend. My friends works great. I have not been so lucky. Mine would not read my heart rate when I was sitting up straight on the bike. I sent that one back to PricePoint and they sent me a replacement. I have now received the replacement and install it on to my bike. These one is even worse than the first one, the heart rate monitor will not pick up my heart rate unless I stand over the cross bar of my bike as close as I can get to the bike computer. Great if you can get one that works. Do you feel lucky? Pricepoint has a good return policy and you'll need it if you buy one of these

Strengths:
wireless, multifunction, big display.
Weaknesses:
Too fancy mount - broke immidietly and I had to improvise a replacement. visible from a very narrow angle - if you see it while seated you won't see it when standing. And the most significant weakness: The first time I rode in a bit of rain, it filled with water and few days later stopped working altogether.

Supergo HR1000 - still have it after 2 years and it is going strong.
Bottom Line:
Seems good on paper but in reality isn't. Apperently you get what you paid for. Avoid this one if you can and you might want to read my other review of the Sette Quasar HRM. B.T.W. Price Point refunded me without hassels - thank you PP.
