Summary: Very functional, remembering configuration sequences can be a challenge
Comment: This is my first cycling computer and I've been happy with it. I've owned it for about 4 months and have done dozens of rides with a total of over 400 miles on the odometer. It is easy to ride and switch between the different viewing modes and is easy to read even in sunlight.
This product is very functional and works as advertised. I really like the "auto start" mode where the odometer and elapsed time start automatically when wheel rotation is detected. Without it I would forget to restart the timer often.
As noted in other reviews the various combinations of button pushes are a bit cryptic and take some practice getting to remember. I'll eventually dig out the manual again to figure out how to set the time to DST :-) ... or maybe I'll just wait until the time is right again! Actually, the one that bugs me the most is the "trip meter reset" which I usually end up having to try two or three different times to get it right.
The one feature I wish it had was an "cycle through modes" option where the values displayed would automatically cycle through the secondary display modes (avg speed, max speed, elapsed time, trip, odometer) without having the press a button on the unit.

Summary: Review: Cateye CC-CD200 Bike Computer
Comment: A good basic Bicyle computer (with cadence) for the price. It provides the basic information of speed, trip distance, overal distance, cadence and more for a reasonable price.

Summary: Nice bike computer with cadence and rear wheel function
Comment: I bought this computer at my local bike shop as I wanted one that measured cadence and could attach to the rear wheel to use with an indoor trainer (Cycle Ops Fluid 2). The setup was a bit challenging for me, but it always takes me twice as long to put things together. I had it on my bike and working in around 45 minutes. I think the attachment hardware could be designed better. The numbers are a bit too small to see easily with my 43 year old eyes. It does function well and is simple to reset and gives me all the numbers I need: speed, top speed, average speed, time of ride, cadence, and odometer. I think it is a bit overpriced. Overall I like it despite these minor issues. The bike shop staff told me that wireless units don't have the range to attch to the rear wheel, so thats why I bought the wired version.

Summary: 2 pluses, 1 minus
Comment: Plus number 1: It is a wired unit. That means you need not worry about interference with other gadgets, including a heart rate monitor.
Plus number 2: Has the really essential features (speed, elapsed time, cadence) at about as low a price as you can find. Not counting heart rate though.
Plus number 3: This is common to several Cateye products I've bought. I wish they would not try so hard to keep the weight down when it comes to the mounting parts & for some products, the shell / casing. They use a black plastic of some sort that just ain't that robust.

Summary: Ok..but not great
Comment: While I like the functions this offers, the screen is a bit hard to read when riding. Also, the instructions aren't very easy to follow. For example, it is displaying in kilometers per hour but the instructions don't say how to convert to miles/hour. I would probably not buy this again.
