 vdo z3 August 23, 2010
dp28
very well made- a bit complicated since so many functions yet pretty logical to learn the basics.
the heart rate monitor chest strap insertion tab that attaches to the monitor belt has too sharp and narrow tabs. they need more material and softer radius. the tab on mine broke after a week while trying to detach the strap from the monitor belt. amazon sent me an entire new unit overnight- all I needed was the elastic strap. it needs a basic design improvement on the chest strap tabs otherwise a good unit with many useful functions. the real time wireless works well.
 I have owned the VDO z3 for 1 year. I love it. July 21, 2010
LSM (Chicago,IL)
I do not agree with the previous 2 reviews. This thing is awesome. It does everything. The VDO z3 is loaded with so many options and functions learning how to use it and program it can be difficult at first. You have to read the manual, it may take a few tries before you get it right. But the payoff is huge. Once properly programed this device turns your ride into a carefully monitored and documented performance. At the end of your ride simply plug it into you usb port on your computer and download your ride (the memory is measured in hundreds of hours). The software processes your data and presents you with high qualitative & quantitative information. You know how you think to yourself how you would like to keep a journal with all of your ride stats so you can show and track improvement. Well this does it in spades. As long as you bring it with you and sync it, every inch your bike travels will be recorded in extreme detail. Used in conjunction with the heart rate monitor the VDO z3 truely becomes a mobile human dynometer. It not only records the altitude but also the % grade. The only option the VDO z3 lacks is real time o2 measurement. The only reson I bring this up is because the software has this option but an o2 senor is not sold. This option would make this device perfect. Also, the handle bar mount should be mounted flush infront, instead of on top. Though the device is so small it really does not matter.
I have owned the VDO z3 for 1 year. I love it.

Brand new install & 1/2 the functions (cadence, speed, HRM etc) don't work. Changed batteries, reset, re-install - wasted 2hours of my time troubleshooting etc.....Piece of X#@! Get a Garmin.
Low quality on buttons May 3, 2010
Cyclist (Portland, OR)
It works for the porpose. But this product has problem on the buttons. When I started using it, I realized #1 button (left bottom) was sticky. After using several times, the button stuck and tried to change the settings. It came out hours later. I returned it and received replacement from Amazon. This time, #2 button (right bottom)is sticky. It's not as bad as first one, but it's unconvenient because #2 button resets the trip data. Since I got 2 out of 2 bad ones, I suspect this is the quality of the product. PC software is poor compare to Garmin's.
