Good, solid product
The Polar CS100 is an excellent entry-level cycling computer and heart-rate monitor. It does what it says on the box.
You can read a PDF of the manual under product support from here:

I found it installed easily. It's fully wireless, so no wires to fiddle with. All of the brackets and rubber bits and cable ties (+ spare cable ties) are in the box. The manual is clear and has a detachable quick-guide card at the front. If you position the speed sensor as per the instructions, it works perfectly. The main unit attaches and detaches easily from the bracket, which you can put on the handlebar or stem.
The buttons are quite positive: they need a firm press, with feedback from a beep, which can be turned off in settings. Other beeps (eg: that you are above or below your training heart rate zone) can also be turned off in the settings. It logs data for today's, this week's and this season's exercise totals.
For the price of a cadence sensor kit, this can be upgraded to a triple-wireless unit (speed, cadence and heart rate). Excellent value for the price.
The speed sensor needs to be close to the main unit, so has to go on the front fork/wheel. If you want a computer than works with your bike on an indoor trainer, you need a rear wheel sensor, so will need something like the Cateye V3 (CC-TR300TW), if you want full (triple) wireless functionality.
Recommended for recreational cyclists not needing the more advanced functions in the CS200, 400 or 600 and not needing to use it on an indoor trainer.
