I have one although the battery only lasts one year but mine has to be calibrated in English or metric so once you set it you have to recalibrate to change the units. Bit of a pain but I suppose it forces you to stay with metric and not cheat and go back.

All bike shops sell modern digital cyclometers that can be set to SI at the push of a button, are pretty accurate, easy to read, show multiple screens of information, and don't cost much. They obtain their information from an electrical pick up mounted on the front fork that is activated by a small button mounted on the front wheel as it spins around. This is one SI-capable bit of hardware that really works well. HARRY WYETH
