Cycle Computer For Luddite

I have used basic 8 function wired computers for several decades. I'd get about 5 years of service out of a 10 dollar computer and was happy with that. Lately the wired computers I have purchased have been defective right out of the box or have died after a year or so. With 3 bikes in the fleet, I am ready to try something different.

I am highly technologically challenged. I have done some reading on phone apps and have decided for several reasons that option is off the table. My search has led me to a Lezyne Macro Easy GPS. It's not wired. It's not dependent upon anything external of the base unit. It gives me the basic functions I want and can be moved from bike to bike very easily. Battery life is good for 8-10 of my typical rides.

Reviews are hard to come by on this unit. Conceptually it fits the bill. The price is about what I'd pay for 3 modern wired computers. Are any of you using this unit? Is there anything that competes with it in size, cost, function and simplicity?
