Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I bought the Cateye CC-AT200W Adventure Wireless Bicycle Computer last month to put on my new touring bike. I've used it for about 200 miles so far and have been pleased with it.
The main reason for getting this unit was I wanted altitude gain as well as the usual speed, distance, maximum speed, and average speed. This unit does not measure cadence and I really had no interest in it, so if that's something important to you, you should look elsewhere. During a two-day ride on the Great Allegheny Passage, the altitude gain measured just under 3,000 feet which was well within 100 feet of the published value, so I was quite pleased with that. I also very much like the automatically measured riding time (a manual mode is also available) which starts and stops within a second or two.
The reason I didn't rate this unit 5 stars is that the initial setup is not totally straightforward as the directions are quite condensed. It took me several tries before I got the hang of the terminology and the logic. Additionally, the buttons on the back are quite small and I ended up using a pencil eraser to push them instead of fingers, especially when I needed to push two at once. Now that I've been using it a bit, it's actually quite easy to use on an everyday basis, but I can see some people getting a little frustrated initially until they get the hang of it. More clearly written directions would eliminate most problems in my opinion. Note that directions are given in many languages, so they'll be one for you no matter where you live.
Overall, I am pleased with the unit and would get it again. It provides the data I'm looking for and the wireless attachment to the bike is a breeze and quite secure. Given I've used a lower-end Cateye unit on my old bike for five years without any problem, I fully expect this unit to provide good service for years to come.
