The Crops CP-W1009 cycle computer is a small, nine-function unit with a comparatively large screen. The main digits are 18mm tall and easy to see but secondary info is only 5mm and can be easily missed.
A single button is used to select functions and gives an audible click. We managed okay with lightweight full-finger gloves, but it took more concentration to ensure a clean press with thicker, winter gloves.
As well as all the usual speed and distance data, the Crops also calculates calorie consumption, which is an interesting extra function. The LED test button on the fork sensor is a particularly useful feature, as dead or depleted sensor batteries are often the reason wireless systems fail.
