Another vote for a basic wired Cateye. Started using them in college and never felt the need to change. Have a journal where I write down the mileage at the end of each year and to add any important notes.
Also, I don't ride enough to really justify anything more. And I enjoy not having my cell phone easily at hand while riding. It's kept in a pouch in a bag on the bike. Either handlebar bag or a kangaroo pouch on a Sackville. All this reminds me that I need to swap out batteries for this year's riding season.
