Good quality impeller. Could be MUCH BETTER

So I use this wheel for my job as a freelance engineer at a telecom company. I usually do 1-3 different routes totaling 3, 4, 5 miles per day that have anchor points connecting them together. This bike is nice overall. It's easy to scroll, doesn't click, has a display at the top to see it on so you don't have to bend over every few feet to see what number each feature is. Other than that, it could be SOOOOOOO much better, and here's how. 1. The ON/Clear button is right next to the knob, so you can easily press it while walking, which will reset your numbers. It sucks when you run 3, 4, 5 miles before you reach the goal. They should have a feature that forces you to double tap to actually reset the number to make this stop. 2. As it is numeric it should have a numeric keypad to enter a bib number to start from. 3. This allows you to save the measurement, but you cannot get a number and then start from there. 4. If you leave it for a long time, the footage you are on will be deleted, so there will be no lunch breaks during the route. This thing is solid as I've dropped it on rocks, concrete, and tarmac with no damage. He counts backwards. For the price alone, they could add a few more features to really make it the best out there.

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • threadbare
