2 Stars Erratic Reset
I purchased this device in April. Now, it is September. The first problem that appeared was its inability to keep accurate time. The clock advances too fast. I first noticed this maybe two months ago. The first couple times there was a difference I would reset/adjust the clock. It kept happening, so I decided to leave it alone for a month and the clock was over 20 minutes off by then. Then the past week, new problems. Now, it resets randomly and enters setup mode. Not sure why, but its in setup mode and the settings/clock is reset in the morning when I ride to work and the evening on the way home. Finally, now the light does not turn off. Arrggh! There is no indication on the device of a weak battery. Seems that device is problematic. I will attempt to get this replaced as it should still be under warranty. I did like the device for all its features in the beginning. Hopefully, it’s just my device. Anyway, buyer beware.

4 Stars Review of VL110 WL Wireless Cycling Computer
The computer works great with one serious exception. When using the computer while I have my “NiteRider” bicycle light turned on, the computer readings become erratic. (Same thing happens when riding under power lines, but those are typically only for brief periods of time.) I attempted to contact Vetta customer service to see if there was anything that might be done to prevent this, but got no reply. Other than that, it’s a great device and very easy to setup and operate.

4 Stars Character Visibility
I have bought Vetta’s computer before. This one seems to have a cheaper “feel” to it. I don’t like the tactile feedback from the buttons as well, and the display does not line up with the opening in the frame quite right.

The digits on the right side are partially hidden by the frame. For example, if there is a ’1′ on the right side, you can’t see it well.

I still like the functions; but I will think twice before getting another one whenever this one “wears out”.

1 Star Hear rate function is not reliable
I bought this product for the heart rate function. However, it is unreliable about 95% of the time. According to the computer, my heart rate would vary from 146 to 228 within a matter of a couple of seconds even though my effort had not changed. By the way, my max heart rate is 198. The cycling functions work OK but I would buy a more solid one for the money. This computer has a cheap feel to it.

3 Stars Vetta Bicyle computer
This is a good product that I have used for several years. I found the Vetta people quite responsive to warranty claims and the computer does everything it says it does very well. The mileage is very accurate. My only negative observation is that the batteries have to be changed more than once per season in regular use.
