The Mity 2 can be quick programmed for up to 28" diameter wheels, and has a quick release handlebar mounting bracket, so the computer head may be taken with you to prevent theft. The Mity 2 uses one CR 1620 or a CR 1616, 3 volt Lithium battery with an average three year life. The Mity 2's instruction manual is printed English, French, Italian, and Japanese. The Mity 2 uses a 27" long wire to a front-mounted, single magnet, wheel sensor, with two mounting brackets that fit up to a 1" diameter fork blade. To release the unit from this power saving mode requires that one of it's two buttons be pressed. To increase the useful battery life the Mity 2 has a power saving function, which after 60 minutes of in-operation blanks the display to the 12 hour clock only. The Mity 2 has an auto Start/Stop which permits the trip meter, average speed and stopwatch functions to start and stop automatically with any wheel movement. Both of these are displayed with 1/10th MPH accuracy. The clock and tripmeter integrate to give the rider, Average speed over the course of the trip, and the Maximum speed achieved at any time during the trip meter operation. You couldn't have a stop watch without a clock function, the Mity 2 has a 12 hour clock, a lower line function. Also included is a stopwatch, on the lower line display, which shows the elapsed time between the starting point and the current point, up to 10 hours, displayed in whole seconds. There is a lower line display trip meter, that records up to 1000 miles, accurate to two decimal places, then resets, automatically. The Mity 2 has an odometer as a lower line function, the total distance on the unit is accumulated and displayed to the 1/10th mile, up to 10,000 miles, when it resets automatically. The current speed is only upper line display, and is displayed continuously. The Mity 2 continuously displays current speed between 3 and 65 MPH, to the nearest 1/10 MPH. All speed functions on the Mity 2 can be expressed in MPH or KPH, we will use MPH. The smaller characters on the display is just one of the ways Cateye was able shrink the size of this computer. The Mity 2 has a two line Liquid Crystal Display, the upper line, which displays only your current speed, has characters 9mm tall while the lower line, which displays time and distance functions, has characters are 4.5mm tall. The upper and lower case pieces are ultrasonicallywelded together making the case weather tight.

My legs know exactly how fast they are / Buyer's Guide / Cateye Computers If I turn the GPS off, it resumes normal operation immediately.Ībility to set starting ODO is a much appreciated feature since I wanted to preserve miles ridden on the other computer (I reset ODO at the end of each year).Ĭadence feature found on other computers not missed. If I turn on the GPS, the computer will not register movement. Note if you use handlebar-mounted GPS: My Garmin GPS interferes with the computer's receive. Any smaller and the display would be hard to read/buttons hard to push. Some users tagged this unit as 'bulky.' Not sure what their frame of reference is but I don't find it bulky at all. Reseting data is a bit awkward since the second button is on the front but it's not a big deal. I really like that there is just one button for cycling through the various modes. Good readability (although the LCD viewing angle is a bit more critical than a few computers I have used). I have always had good luck with Cat Eye computers and I wanted wireless so I jumped. I was using a Sigma 1606L and I grew tired of always pushing the wrong button (it has 4).
