Have had one of these for at a year and a day and it has gone kaput :”( Am I too hard core for it? Or are they a pile of s**t 😕 Have gone through a few computers over the years. Anyone recomend a small cycle computer that lasts for more than a year?

It keeps re-setting itself. I have got a screen with Unlt and flashing km/h showing. I have re-programmed it and after a few seconds it re-sets again. I have got one unit and two fitting kits. Don’t particularly want to buy another brand and another fitting kit for the other bike…But was wondering what others had found. The Blackburn looks good (And the Tesco special looks good value)
