Good buy

PostedJuly 14, 2011

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Lightweight

After reviewing the market, I decided on the V3 as the best compromise of quality, affordability and functionality. I haven't been disappointed.
The V3's combination of heart rate, cadence, distance and time help me target my training more effectively.

Useful Piece of Equipment

PostedJune 22, 2011

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Lightweight, extensive data

I have had the V3 for over a month now in order to give it a good test before doing this quick review.

Initially I had a faulty unit which packed in after a few miles. There was no problem with Evans exchanging it and the replacement has operated with no issues (so probably just unlucky first time)

This unit splits the screen into two areas for providing information.

The top two thirds (controlled by the top button) shows speed, heart rate and cadence all at once. The information can be scrolled by simply repeatedly pressing the top button to show current, average and maximum readings.

The bottom third (controlled by the bottom button) gives numerous other individual data including amongst others distance, journey time, lap times etc. Again this is scrolled by pressing the bottom button.

Setting the computer up with the basic data for wheel size, date, time, units etc is simple enough.

The computer unit itself is easy to fit. The sensors/magnets are also easy to attach. I would however suggest you use wider clip ties than those provided to give that extra bit of security (bearing in mind the condition of some roads).

On the move the unit is generally easy to read. The size of the letters/numbers for the speed and heart rate display are fine, however the cadence display is of a smaller size and is not the easiest to read with a quick glance. Acceptable, but not great.

The unit will do more than this short review has indicated - for example it allows target heart rate zones. Overall the data collected is extensive and should provide enough feedback to allow every level of rider to develop their fitness and riding skills further.

Bearing in mind the price and the data you can collect, the unit represents reasonable value for money and is a useful bit of eqipment to have.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality

Very happy with this product. Had read some varying reviews prior to purchase and was a little concerned, but the set up was quite easy and so far it is working perfectly.
Taking a little bit to get used to the cluttered display compared to my last computer but I cannot see a solution to this as the unit needs to provide all this detail.
I love the fact that only one sensor is required for this unit.

Worth the price, an extraordinary start

PostedJune 1, 2011

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable, Lightweight, Looks great, efficient, easy to install

Cons: display size, back light time, computer synchronization

I jumped from a basic Cateye the Velo 5, to the V3. Now with the cadence and heart rate sensor I can do my training controlling and improving the results. The V3 is very easy fast to install, takes like 15 minutes, the sensors (HR, Speed/cad) synchronization is very fast. The manual explain it very carefully and easy to understand. The device shows a lot of information at the same time MX or Av speed, HR, cadence and distance, time, but when you are riding in the night is difficult to see, because of the size of the numbers and the period that the back light stay on, like 30 seconds.
The HR sensors works fine and when you finish your trip they store the data and provide the time that you spend on the Zone that you set before the ride, under and below, that’s make easy to monitor the changes and improve in your future rides.
Until now, I don’t have problems in the signal, sensors desynchronization or noise during the ride and the response when you start riding and stop is quiet good. The battery of sensors looks like very easy to change to maintain.
One point that I really think that they can improve, is the option to download the training data to the computer. I have my training sheet that every day I update, but will be very useful if they created this option.
In general I’m satisfied with the V3, the price is fair, and the product has great results for this price. I highly recommend this Cateye for everyone that is starting serious training. Futhermore, if you need more information you can change for a GPS with HR and Cadence in the future, but this is a great start.
After almost 10 days using the Cateye V3, Im Very happy with my purchase.
