"measure speed, distance, riding time calorie counter and etc which what any serious bicyclist or fitness fanatic needs."
ALL that I want is a speedometer.
Why do manufacturers insist on adding all these confusing options?
In practice they are difficult to use because the device is not user friendly or intuitive and needs repeated pushes of a button or even two together and you really need the manual alongside you to operate it.

Do you remember the days when your analogue speedo ran off of a little wheel rolling on your tyre?

There was no room on my tyre because of the dynamo powering the lights. The word "Speedometer" is a little open ended, it might as well measure the speed of fat sticking to your body and all around and inside your internal organs slowly choking all their vital functions so that all fail one by one until your inevitable illness, impotence, dementia and death.
