Hi Resumer......First, if you haven't already done a search here on the TE forums for the term cyclocomputer, give it a whirl. You'll find several threads devoted to the pros and cons of various models.
I started out with a Cateye 8 last year when I got back into cycling. Good, basic model, worked just fine. But then I decided about six weeks ago that I wanted to work on improving my cadence (spin rate), so I switched to a Cateye Strada Cadence on my road bike. (Kept the Cateye 8 for my MTB)............I'm very happy with the Strada-------changes from screen to screen with minimal effort. Just a little bit of light finger pressure at the bottom "clicks" through the various screen options..........
For what it's worth, my BF tells me that the Cateye 8 is being phased out.
Both of my cyclocomputers are "wired" models. There are wireless versions---more expensive, and I *think* a bit more finicky in terms of getting the pieces positioned *just right* to send and receive info. If you're interested, do a search here for the term wireless and you'll find a few discussions.
Have fun!
