From: Far beyond the pale horizon.
I don't think any bicycle computer is designed to reset automatically. They are designed to require a user to force a reset.

It's possible that some computer exists that retains the odometer reading without the batter, but I think it's rare. Some may retain it if you change the battery quickly.

Two or more tripmeters (handy for multi day adventures) -> highly unlikely.
rain proof-> typical (to some degree).
Clock-> typical for many computers.
Average speed of a ride (until reset by user) -> typical for many/most computers.
Average speed for life of the computer/bike (until reset by user) -> highly unlikely.
Max speed of a ride (until reset by user) -> typical for many/most computers.
Max speed for life of the computer/bike (until reset by user) -> highly unlikely.
Elapsed ride time (until reset by user)-> typical for many/most computers.
Total time ridden for life of the computer/bike (until reset by user) -> highly unlikely.
Battery level -> The Bontrager Nodes have this.
Cadence -> there's a computer in nearly every company's line that has cadence (interestingly, Planet Bike is not one of them).
Pace +/- indicator -> Planet Bike computers have this.
Calories burned on ride (until reset by user) -> useless: It's not accurate without power.
Calories for life of the computer/bike (until reset by user) -> useless: It's not accurate without power.
lit screen option -> The Bontrager Nodes have this.
Stopwatch -> I suspect there isn't one.
There isn't a computer with all of these.

It doesn't exist. What's your budget?
