130is a good basic bike computer that does all the essentials

but if you want to monitor your body(heart rate/O2 levels, fatigue levels etc) while riding it still needs to be paired w/ a good wristwatch, a bonus is to pair w/ your phone to see who's calling on the bike screen or watch screen

I love the wristwatch pulse monitor compared to a chest strap
