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".

I have used one of these units happily for a year and just ordered a second. I often ride on a multi-user path right under high-tension power lines (can you say interference) and it soldiers along quite well. The one I just ordered came in sealed original Vetta packaging just like the first one, but the wireless receiver/handlebar mount is the wrong one. It is the receiver for the TX2 "torpedo" model that measures cadence, and it is incompatible with the VL110HR WL.

I have emailed Vetta customer service to attempt to arrange an exchange. I will update this review once I get a response.

The heart rate function didn't work the first time I tried it. Also, this unit does not have any temperature functions, contrary to what is stated in the description here on Amazon.

It does have a really nice light, though. I like the light.

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.

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.
