MeasuPro Wireless Bicycle Computer, Heartrate Monitor, Speedometer, Odometer, Calorie Tracker

This is actually the second one we purchased, the first was a gift to me and I enjoyed enough I bought one for my daughter. Both installed easily and even though to takes a lot of button pushing to program it we have found that it works fine. I have never used the heart rate monitor because I have an Apple Watch that does that if needed. I'm not racing or anything so it really doesn't matter to me. I guess since the heart rate is a big advantage to this particular model I may have needed to shop harder, I just bought this one for her since my daughters had bought me the same one. If it doesn't work at first (we had that problem) then check to see if the wheel sensor is close enough to the little magnet you install on the spoke, they almost have to touch. The included batteries were almost dead on both of ours but replacements are cheap and easy to find. One last thing, not sure which device is off here, but I have used my Apple Watch and Strava app on iPhone, all three are off from each other on distance. Since I am just using this as a guide to how much I have gone for exercise sake then I don't care, it's off by maybe 1% and I could probably tweak that by adjusting programmed wheel circumference if it really bothered me.So if I have the Apple Watch app and Strava on iPhone why do I even have this? Because it stays on all the time, no need to turn on phone screen or look at watch, this is just so easy to glance down to check speed and/or mileage.

I really wanted to love this MeasuPro bike computer, but I'm going to settle for "it works." If you want a reasonably priced bike computer with a built-in heart-rate monitor, this is the one for you. Just be aware that installing it and using it can be somewhat frustrating.First off, unlike so many other reviewers, I did NOT receive a free or reduced-cost model in exchange for my review. I paid the price available to anyone at Amazon. And here's my disclosure: The original sensor failed after about 40 miles of use, although MeasuRite sent me a replacement that works so far, after another 100 miles.I bought this bike computer to replace a six-year-old VDO, which still does everything right, except for the heart-rate measurement. Keeping an eye on my heart rate is important to me, because I start with a high resting rate, and if I push myself too hard on hills, my heart rate goes into the stratosphere. For some reason, manufacturers of bike computers, including VDO, no longer offer built-in heart-rate monitors at the below-$100 price point. Hence, my decision to buy the MeasuPro.Let me start with the good:1. The price is very reasonable.2. The heart-rate monitor portion seems to operate well, which was a primary motivation for my purchase. True, the chest strap attaches with a funky plug that's tricky to connect, but with a little practice, you can make it work. I have no clue why every chest strap manufacturer seems to use a different shaped plug. Over the years, I've gone through 3 or 4 brands, and because the plug shape differs with each of them, the chest strap from one can't be used with the elastic from any other.3. The clock seems to keep good time, which is sometimes not true of moderately priced bike computers.Here are the cons, roughly in the order I encountered them:1. The instructions are mediocre at best. In fact, a few word choices suggest they may have been written by someone for whom English is not a first language. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) Regardless of language, there's a mistake in the way the base, the piece that's secured to the handlebars, is drawn in the instructions; you need to turn the base 90 degrees from the way it's shown in the picture to get the computer to lock in in the right direction.2. Others have mentioned that you need to measure the wheel circumference before starting, because if you start and go off to measure, the device will leave the settings mode. This is true, but to me, it's a very minor issue.3. The instructions don't explain why you would want four different heart-rate ranges, and it seems gratuitous to have to run through them on setup. Again, a minor issue.4. The data categories aren't organized well. I think most riders would want easy access to a few categories of data: ride time, distance, and average speed, all of which should be easily accessible. No such luck here. The MeasuPro makes you scroll through things like total ride time, odometer, and calories burned, just to see ride time and distance and to get back to the start. A well designed device would put ride time, distance, and average speed on the primary cycle and total ride time, odometer, and calories burned on a separate cycle. The MeasuPro does have a secondary cycle that gives you access to average speed along with maximum speed and average and maximum heart-rate. But average speed is a lot more important than those other categories, and it should have been put on the primary cycle.5. The instructions indicate that if you put the device in ride time mode, you can clear all data at once. But "all data" includes the odometer, which most riders would want to maintain. Clearing the odometer along with the other data, in my opinion, is a bizarre feature. The odometer should be very difficult to clear, in order to make sure you're doing it on purpose. With the MeasuPro, if you don't read the instructions carefully, you could be in for a big surprise. There's a workaround for this: In order to avoid clearing the odometer, you can clear each category individually, but you shouldn't have to do that. Making it easy to lose your odometer setting is a major flaw.6. When I "locked" the computer into the base, it didn't feel very secure, almost as if the device could pop out and get lost in an instant if I hit a bump. Nothing has happened so far, and I really don't expect it to, but it just doesn't have a very secure feel. My old VDO was much better on this count.7. I was eventually able to tighten the magnet on the spoke and the sensor on the fork far enough to ensure proper alignment, but the process was harder than it should be. If you have a nice bike, you don't want to take a chance on over-tightening the magnet and damaging your spoke or having to secure the sensor with tape and messing up your fork. As I said, it took a while, but all's well that ends well.8. When my original sensor stopped working, there was no website I could find where there's any troubleshooting information. So I looked at the instructions, which offered a customer service phone number and an email address. I emailed customer service, which was less than helpful. The first response asked me a series of questions that assumed I had no idea what I was doing, even though I mentioned I'd been using bike computers for 15 years. When I wrote back, I said that a reviewer at Amazon had recommended moving the sensor high up on the fork, and I asked if that would work. The response simply said, yes, if the sensor is too far from the computer, the computer won't be able to pick up the signal. Why the sensor is too weak to transmit an extra 2-3 inches wasn't explained. Fortunately for me, about two weeks after I bought the MeasuPro, I got an email from the company asking whether my "expectations" had been met. I responded with a no and copied the email thread with customer service, and I promptly was advised to request a replacement through Amazon. The replacement arrived, and all is well, subject to the reservations above.

**Update 17 Dec, 2015** ---> They have reached out to me today and have said that they have emailed a new one to me. I will update this review again and change the rating if I get a new one and it works any different.When I got this product it was missing the plastic piece that helps hold the magnetic part to the bike, so I did the next best thing and stuck it onto my bike with something else (I used some string to keep it in place and at least see if I can get any kind of read out). I finished setting everything else up but the sensor didn't track any information like current speed, distance traveled, etc. (this was after riding my bike for 40 minutes). I figured to try the heart rate monitor (which I didn't plan on ever using it) and that didn't work either. I've reset the device based of the manuals instructions and changed all the batteries as well, but nothing works as it is intended to.After all of this I contacted the MeasuPro customer support via phone number during the week and didn't get through to anyone (left a voicemail) no one contacted me. Emailed them and got a reply the next day asking for my Amazon order number, I gave it to them and days later now I'm still waiting for a reply. I have emailed them again and still haven't gotten a response from them.I wouldn't recommend for anyone to get this based of my bad experience with their product and with their customer service not being helpful either. I'll updating this accordingly if anyone from their team contacts me about this review or their product.

so simple and easy to set up. it takes a little while to completely understand all the modes on the device. The screen is smaller than I thought, but its very clear and easy to read. I honestly did not know what to expect as I've never owned a cyclometer before, I am blown away! It is an amazing gadget to have for cyclists. I put this on my stationery spin bike and it works beautifully. The heart rate monitor is so accurate. I've been spinning for a while and I love spinning. unfortunately my original cyclometer that came with the spin bike broke due to water damage. So I need something water resistant and accurate for my speed, heart rate and kcal burned. The magnet attaches to the spokes of a wheel.....however spin bikes don't have spokes, but because its magnetic it sticks to my flywheel! absolutely perfect device!

I bought this bicycle computer as my cateye wireless device died after faithful service, I bought this as it was significantly cheaper than most cateye products, it is wireless and gives the option of wearing the chest strap for heart rate. I was cautious at first when I bought this item as it is only rated as water resistant rather than waterproof like my previous computer. I was concerned that it was going to die in the first down pour it experienced, that has not been the case so far. I am by no means a serious cyclist, I just enjoy getting out and about so I haven't made use of the chest strap and have no idea how accurate the unit is, however the computer bit seems accurate enough for my liking; it certainly seems to be very close to my much more expensive cateye product. It was much easier to calibrate than any previous cycle computer, I just had to choose the tyre size and it did all the calculations for me....which I double checked just to make sure and they were spot on. The only reason that this product is not getting a 5 star rating is that it gets quite an easy life with me commuting to and from work and therefore doesn't have to contend with too much bad whether, it would bring peace of mind and a five star rating if the product was waterproof.

I was very disappointed with this product. Item arrived on time and securely packaged. Set up was a little time-consuming but is fine if you have all the necessary details beforehand such as wheel size, etc. Unfortunately the computer would not pick up the sensor at all even when I held it beside the computer. Changing the batteries did help either. I realise that a product can be faulty from time to time and I am happy to receive a working replacement, however the customer service here was completely non-existant. I emailed the seller to explain my problem and possibly receive some technical assistance but I did not receive any answer whatsoever. Disappointed with the product but disgusted with the lack of customer service.

after about 2 months of daily use, i have come to love this gadget. gives you all the info you need - speed, distance travelled, heart rate and for me - very importantly - calories burnt with each journey.PROS: (1) display is very clear to read (2) computer is small enough not to use up much space on the handlebar. (3) good price. (4) the batteries are still the ones it came with so good life so far.CONS - (1) feeding in the initial basic parameters into the computer was the hardest because of the time it took me to measure my wheel and to get an accurate figure accurate . Once all the basic info was in everything else was plain sailing.2) If you wanted to chart your day-to-day performance there is no software so you have to write down the readings yourself and chart it that way . I do this for my heart rate and calories used.3) accuracy of readings - I wonder if i should believe a heart rate maximum reading of 232 beat per minute. I never knew this was possible but i did cycle uphill and ended up having to get off and push uphill because i had no puff left. but 232 bpm!!!! can someone comment on this please. Has anyone else come across such a high reading for the heart rate. Can i trust this reading ?(4) did not give it 5 star because i feel it could have been more securely fixed to the "base" on the handlebar - comes off too easily and i am worried that it might fall off when i am not looking.

Promised a lot but delivered next to nothing. HRM varied erratically between 180 and 00 (you,re not alive) while on the same stretch of level road . Odometer worked when it felt like and the other associate functions were equally "crazy" Supplier could not replace with a similar product as it is discontinued and also because as it was out of the 30 day return date - the only thing working are the batteries which I had replaced. The 2 year warranty is not worth the paper it is written on. I was offered the chance to purchase any other product , but not a cycle computer as they no longer sell them......!Please do not purchase this particular product
