When using it, the speedometer does not pick up speed compared to the same exact one I had but wired. Disappointed since I liked this brand. Will not be getting wireless again

There's not much to this product and was not as easy to set up and use. Vey cheaply made and not a friendly product in my opinion.

After going through three wired units that pulled the sending wires out of the mount each time I had a crash I finally bit the bullet and went wireless. Because I know there will be another crash sometime in the future. So far no broken bones, only broken spirit and a few scrapes! This unit does not calculate calories, temperature or some of the other stats that my Schwinn wired units did but really, who need to know that? It does a fine job of tracking my speed, max speed, average speed, time spent cycling and it keeps time. That's all I really want since I use my phone to track my ride anyway. It was pretty easy to set up once I realized that I had to mount the sending unit higher up on the fork than where my wired unit was mounted. Only once did I get crazy readings.... like going 36 mph when I was actually going maybe 14 mph. Don't know what the glitch was but the next time I used this item it worked like a champ and has ever since. You just need to get used to turning it on when you begin your ride. It will shut off automatically after about six minutes of non-use.

This is a pretty good product, especially for the price. I formerly had Sigma wired odometers (BC906 and BC1009) and I really liked them, but wanted to get a wireless cyclocomputer. I was drawn to the Origin8 because its price is a lot lower than the Sigma wireless products.Pros1) The sensor is more forgiving than the Sigma -- you can have as much as 1/2 inch of dead space between the sensor and magnet and it will still register your movement. I had to get the spacing on the Sigma just right for it to work.2) Intuitive menu system; easy to reset trip odometer; nice large numbers.3) Accuracy down to 0.2 mph (the sigma only had 0.5 mph)Cons1) Doesn't have Auto ON feature. I loved that my Sigma would automatically turn on when I left. I sometimes forget to turn on the Origin8 for awhile. And therefore I've lost some miles on my total odometer.2) Display viewing angles not as wide as Sigma (the display is a bit hard to read when I'm leaning forward on my bike)3) The sensor on the wheelhub is big and cumbersome and hard to secure in place. And easy to bump into a bike rack and displace.Overall the Origin8 competes pretty well with Sigma. The Sigmas I owned were better overall, but the Origin8 is a good value for the price.########## UPDATE May 2015: The Origin8 lasted about a year before the top snap broke off. It was actually falling apart in several areas. I decided to upgrade to the CatEye Urban Wireless Bicycle Computer CC-VT220W. I've been running the Cateye for about a month now, and I find it much better designed than either the Origin8 or the Sigma. Overall I would recommend paying the extra $15-$20 for a Cateye.

OK product, not that intuitive

The installation took longer than I had planned. Getting the sending unit the right distance from magnet on the spoke required some trail and error work. In the settings I was able to pick her rim size with no problem. I have two concerns with the unit though. Whenever manufacturers make electronics with only one or two buttons that have multiple functions you end up going through multiple clicks of the one button to get to what you want to see or have to suffer through multiple screens while you ride. For the general rider, speed, time and distance are the only areas of interest, all the other functions seem to confuse the rider. Second concern was that the unit doesn't reset mileage and time after each ride. You either have push the two buttons at once or take out the battery (Pushing the two buttons didn't work and taking out the battery means resetting the unit). My wife is content with the unit so I let it be but I would have returned the unit if it was on my bike.

This bike computer has all the data that I need. It is easy to set up and install. It uses inexpensive, easy to get batteries. I installed the transmitter at the bottom end of my fork, and the computer has no problem picking up the signal. NOTE: this computer has "Auto Off", but no "Auto On". If you are stopped for more than a few minutes, you will have to push the right button to start up the computer again. At first, I thought it might annoy me to have to manually restart the computer, but after just a couple of rides it's no big deal--I just look down and see if I have to push the button or not ( I only ever lost a minuter or two of data, then it became habit ).I like that I can mount this computer on the handlebars or the stem--the included mount is adaptable.

It lasted two days....7 miles out and 7 miles back each day. Then it cleared its memory as if the battery were dead. It kept shutting down as if the battery was dead. I haven't replaced the battery yet, but really....dying after two days.....it really shouldn't have. Course, once it shuts down and clears out you gotta reset it and that means making sure the correct wheel size is inputted into the computer. Real pain in the butt....more so than the seat was initially.It worked well for the first two days. After that....not so much.
