I just want a big, legible, inexpensive computer and the Cateye Padrone delivers.

Speaking of Garmin, if you like heartrate on the bike which I like for aggressive group riding, the Garmin Forerunner 235 is a hellova heart rate watch where you don't have to wear a chest strap and you can even save your rides as with full size Garmin computers. Also to know, I am fussy about ergonomics and the watch is featherlight and even with HR wrist detection, you forget about the watch being on except when you want to look at your HR. I prefer this combo to a computer with HR. YMMV
I don't need or want nav and don't ride with a powermeter and trying to keep it that way.
I did not know this. Can you elaborate on this piece? I use one Cateye Padrone on all my bikes.
