Hey all, thanks so much for the recommendations, I checked them all out.
Through my further research on the Vetta, Cateye, Sigma, VDO, Planet Bike, Sundig, Polar, Topeak, Blackburn, and Filzer websites; I realized the cost vs. features is something I need to rethink.
I created a comparison spreadsheet with the features I wanted if you want to copy it and modify your own.

I was most impressed with the Sigma brand; their Rox 9.1 has the most features I like....but its $200.
Oddly enough after all your help, I might have gotten my Velo 8 to work properly.
The cradle slid off the flat of the handlebar and was bending.
This warped cradle must have been sending bad electrical signals and causing the resets.
I remounted the cradle with tape and zip ties on a totally flat part of the bar, took a ride, and it has been over a day and the data is still there.
Thanks for the help, hopefully someone else can use my spreadsheet info to make a computer purchase decision.
