User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Great concept…a little flawed in the application
The “torpedo” concept for the wireless sensor is very clean and straightforward. It has some promise, but Vetta needs to make some modifications in the length of the sensing arms. As they are now, the arms are too long and do not fit anything close to what I would consider “typical” distance between the chainstay of a bicycle and the rear wheel spokes and crankarms. Because the arms are too long, they cannot be arranged where they pick up the magnets on the wheel or crankarm for consistent rotational measurement. I even had to glue a rare earth magnet I bought separately to my bicycle’s crankarm for cadence measurement because the magnet included with the cyclocomputer in no manner could fit the space between the crank and the chainstay. Vetta needs to think about the design and re-engineer the sensing arms before I would give a recommendation.

1 Star piece of junk
Set it up and it worked for one two hour bike ride. The next morning, it no longer worked.

1 Star Missing parts
This item was missing parts when I purchased it. Its repacement does not work. Heart monitor does not work at all… the computer itself is extremely unreliable. It actually only measures bicycle speed 10 percent of the time or so and is only useful as a clock and timer. In my opinion Vetta computers are worthless expensive junk. A $10 Schwinn computer I bought works all the time without any problems.

1 Star does not work
I bought this item and it would not shut off. It ran the battery down. Vetta sent me two others. The second would not shut off either. The third, the torpedo would not shut off. Vetta was helpful but it does not work.

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”.

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.

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.
