It required 6 seconds of input before it would register the new speed.

Wonderful!
I love it when at least one person has one of these C&V items to provide a photo and some personal experience, especially if the Bicycling photo was in black and white.
And I just came upon the Peugeot Sport Computer reviewed a year later in the July 1983 issue.
Will post it today or tomorrow.
