We have Cateye Stradas on 5 of the touring bikes in our family. They have been reliable, and are relatively easy to use. My wife's touring bike has had her Strada on the longest, 5 years with just over 16,000 miles, without any problems.
The body switch is reliable and bumps and jars do not affect it. The trouble I have is that I some times clear it accidently when I lean over the bars. It is easy to prevent by leaving the mode on the "time" setting.
