also, how do they work? do you attach a magnet to your fork and the spokes?

I had the Enduro 8… Perfect computer if you ask me. You are not overwhelmed with features so you actually remember how to use it. Its also really beefy…
You mount the bracket on your bar and route the cable down your front brake housing (wrap it around it with some slack at the top to allow for travel if you have front suspension). Attach the sensor on your fork and the magnet cleverly screws onto your spoke (hard to describe but trust me its a bomb-proof design). Adjust the gap, set up the computer to your tire/rim size and you are ready to go.
One note… I broke mine when I threw it down in the dirt and the bracket hit a rock. I’m abusive and have over 4000 miles on my bike so I think you should be fine.
Good luck!

The first one seems easier to use. The second one seems to have more functions.
Also, it the should be a special type of strap on the back to hang on to of of your handle bars .
Both computers have the basic functions of Speed, Trip Distance, Time and Distance Time. All other specs are up to your preference but both seem pretty nice to me. I have used Cat Eye Mitty for a very long time without any trouble. My first computer was a Vetta (Avocet look alike) and didnt function that well, first battery life was short, then the screen started to shut and eventually died on a rainy ride. If I was you Ill go with Cat eye. As for the magnet question.. yes! you put a sensor in your fork and a magnet in the spokes… and voala!
