Product Description:
|
|
|
|
The first ever cycle computer specifically designed for commuters and those who ride for transportation, errands, and utility. Critical trip details make the CatEye Commuter Computer the best option for making your rides stress-free. Estimated Time of Arrival, clock, temperature, and back light help you stay on schedule. The new larger font size makes it even easier to read trip details with a quick glance. Carbon Offset information is included along with standard computer features so you will not only feel better from the ride, you?ll feel better about the ride. The Carbon Offsets are computed by using a fixed 150g/km or 240g/mile figure and multiplying it by the distance ridden. It tracks it in real time and shows day to day, week to week, month to month and total carbon saved. The innovative FlexTight? bracket mounts quickly, securely and without tools to virtually any handlebar or stem. The tool-free speed sensor mounts effortlessly to any standard fork.

 Cateye Commuter by a Daily Commuter, September 3, 2010
By sambo! (Los Angeles)
|

I replaced my Polar CS400 with the Cateye Commuter and have been very satisfied with the Commuter's performance. The Polar was plagued with dropouts for no explainable reason and, thus far, I have had no dropout issues with the Cateye.
The display is easy to read. It saves the odometer information on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and overall basis so you can keep track of how much you ride in a given interval. One minor downside is that the total odometer is not available on the normal display (current ride distance is, however, always available - you access the overall odometer with the menu button on the back). The trip mileage on the display is cumulative until you reset it by holding down the mode button. For each trip the computer remembers your last distance and will use that distance to estimate arrival time. This works nicely if you commute a lot since you tend to ride the same route to/from work. You can also manually set the expected ride distance for special/long rides. The computer also advertises the CO2 offset calculation. This is interesting but not of much practical use.
I like how Cateye implemented the Mode button. When the computer is in the handlebar mount, pressing the computer itself presses the mode button so you are not fumbling for some small or obscure button on your bike computer when you should be looking up and paying attention. Another very nice feature is that the odometer and bike settings are stored in non-volatile memory so you won't lose your totals if you change batteries. And even if they do disappear for some reason, you can enter the starting values to resume your overall mileage accurately! Another nice plus is the thermometer on the display.
Personally, I ride 4-5 days per week commuting a distance of 10 miles each way. For the two months I have had this bike computer, I have been very satisfied and would recommend it. If you are focusing on a mountain bike solution rather than a road bike/commuter solution, I would say that although this computer will work for you, there may be other solutions such as the Cateye Adventure.

 Could be better, November 9, 2010
By Purple Haze (Texas)

I got the Cateye CC-COM10W as a gift and found these problems.
1. If you mount it on your bicycle stem, it's hard to see the display.
you need to be ~45° angle from the display to get a good view.
2. The back light is too dim and has a short on time....
3. The computer has what seems to be a power saving mode(good)and a sleep mode(Bad?)that you have no control over.
When the computer sits for a short time it goes into power saving mode and it will wake itself up if you move the tires.
Sleep mode happen after it sits for an hour.
If you don't remember to push the mode button and wake it up out of sleep mode, you get no measurements.
If you commute every day like me, It would be nice to just get on your bike and ride.
I like having a bike computer and honestly, I don't use it every day, but I do want to
see the total mileage I'm putting on my bike and with the sleep mode like it is, you can't.
That is, unless you remember to push that stupid button.
If this sleep mode is to help with transporting the bike and electrical interference, why did they
not have a manual sleep mode for this?

A little overpriced but EXCELLENT layout!, April 17, 2011
By David (San Diego, CA)
|

I'm very particular when it comes to how things are arranged at times. This is the MAIN reason why I decided to purchase the Cateye CC-COM10W. I just love how the time and temperature are separated on the bottom while other information is displayed in big numbers.
Sure, I realize that there are other less expensive alternatives that display the same information and more. But its not as "neatly" displayed as this Cateye. Its a tad overpriced on Amazon, but you can find it for $59.99 if you froogle it.
So far no interference issues (yet). I've heard that power lines or electronic devices interfere with the wireless computer, but so far so good. The time is also kept correctly. I use this on my folding bicycle that I keep in the trunk of my car.
The light is very dim and turns on for a very brief period of time, you shouldn't be looking at your computer while cycling in the dark anyway. I'm not sure if other models offer a light at longer intervals. Its really only good for briefly checking the display (time or ETA) at a stop. I suppose its better than no light at all. A manual standby mode would have been good.
All-in-all I am very happy with this bicycle computer. Its obviously aimed at bicycle commuters. But you can make it work for you if all you need is Speed, distance, time and temp. The ETA mode is great too.
PROS
-AWESOME display layout.
-Info modes by day, week and month.
-ETA (estimated time of arrival) mode calculates your time based on previous rides.
-On-click action to switch between modes.
-Easy removal from bracket.
-Carbon offset calculator is a bit gimmicky but its there.
-Time and temperature
CONS
-The light is way too dim and duration is very short
-Current mode letters are too small.
-Overpriced

Great computer for commuting., October 13, 2010
By jarrito (north carolina)
|

I've only had this computer for several days and I love it. It's the first bicycle computer I've owned and I have few complaints. The overall build quality is great and it has great features; everything I could ask for. The only two things I don't like are that the night light could be a little brighter and I've noticed that while I'm in a vehicle and I have this computer with me, it must pick up electromagnetic interference from the electronics in the car because the odometer starts climbing and it gives out random speed readings. Now I'm going to have to reset the computer because the data that was logged from a ride earlier that day was lost. Make sure you don't bring this computer in a car with you.

 Not smart, not convenient, November 24, 2011
By T. Voros (North Ryde, NSW, AU)
|

This is my first wireless bike computer. I tried to avoid wireless designed because I didn't think it made sense, this bike computer just confirmed that.
Basically you pay more for the wireless option and all you get is less battery life and you lose autostart!
The computer goes to sleep after an hour and it shows the time only. You have to press the button to wake it up otherwise it does not record anything.
Its operation does not make sense. You have to take it off and press the setup button to try access the odometer, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly ridden distances, calories, CO2 etc and you still keep ending up in the setup menu because it is so unintuitive.
The LCD screen has a very limited viewing angle, there is no sweet spot if you have more than one riding position.
The backlight is a joke. The light button is on the bottom of the computer and it's hard to press when you ride.
Temperature sensor is not accurate at all, I guess it is not smart to put a sensor is a black plastic body without proper air vents.

Take a look at this one!, January 5, 2012
By Steven Toomey (Jupiter, Florida)
|

Okay I am not a racer, and I am not trying to set any speed records. I am a fifty something guy who when I am not riding my bike-I am thinking about riding my bike. This bike computer can be easily seen with out my glasses. I like to keep up with how much I ride every day, and this has everything I need in a great format. There are some great detailed reviews on this site-so I am not going into a lot of detail. It took a few times to get use to the format. It's the best I have used and I have three.

Decent, April 6, 2012
By DeeJay

I like this product but it's wireless. I've had a few occastions where the computer wouldn't read anything but resumed when it came back. I like how the temperature is shown and the time so you can look down and see it instantly. The backlit feature is really really faint like others have said. Can't beat the price though.

Sweet Commuter, March 23, 2012
By ragamo

I originally purchased a VDO bike computer. The directions and set up were marginal at best. The CatEye Commuter was a dream to understand the set up instructions and had the features that I really wanted. (CatEye's website is a "Super" site.) Simple to program, only took 4 trials and the useage is simple. I wanted MPH and Temp. The VDO didn't have those functions. I definately enjoy the CatEye! Great devise!

night light, really?, January 22, 2012
By annoyed

While this is a nice computer, the night light function is completely useless. Not sure why they even bother calling it a back lit screen. It is truly a joke. So much for truth in advertising.
