Review on ๐Ÿšฒ MEILAN Blade Wireless Bike Computer: Backlit, Speed/Cadence Sensor, Bluetooth, ANT+, 80-hr Battery Life, 2.5in Screen, Waterproof M4 - Perfect for Road Biking by Bob Fasho

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good cheap head unit. Not recommended for tracking progress

This is a nifty device. I appreciate its simplicity and design. Disadvantages: synchronization time. Incredibly slow. Doesn't give you feedback. Sometimes the application crashes and SYNC needs to be restarted. It's either Temp or HR, but not both. Unlike their GPS model, which shows TEMP at the top next to the time, this model shows where the heart rate is going. And to top it all off, I could only view the temperature in PAUSE MODE. I haven't found a way to export the FIT file. From an app or from a USB stick. Pros: Using a simple head unit makes it easy to use. Ease of installation. Bright backlight with 3 settings. A, low, high. 4 buttons. An independent button on the back to enter setting mode. Exactly Approx. $5 more COOSPOO BC107 can be used with the same sensors and you can export FIT files from the app. It supports GPS and displays the temperature on the top. At the moment its height is inaccurate but it does the job.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
