I had one of those and it did work great in winter. The problem was when summer came around. When the unit got hot the display would black out and I would be riding in the dark, so to speak. When I put it in the shade it would slowly return to normal, but obviously I wasn't riding in the shade much. Finally replaced it with a Cateye Mity 8, which has been great.
Years ago I had an Echo J12 that I found in a surplus store for $5.99. That was a great little computer that worked in all weather conditions and showed cadence as well as speed, avg speed, max speed, odometer, and trip odometer. I had about 15k miles on that little thing when it flew off the mount while I was riding single track a few years ago. Never found it, and don't think they're made anymore.
