I've used PB 9.0 wired computers for years, perhaps a decade and appreciate them. My four have been through heavy rain without problems. They've bounced around and done tens of thousands of miles. The only reason I got a new one was that on my oldest one @ 10 years, the display was getting very light and hard to see, even with a new battery. I also like that PB doesn't change their design every years with "new" and "improved" features. They got it right the first time for an inexpensive but great product and have kept it the same. Yes, the temperature gets off in direct sunlight, but everything does, otherwise I've found it to be spot on. I use this as a backup and extra info for my Garmin Edge 705 and can view 13 pieces of data at once between the two. Very nice.

Been using a PB Protege 9.0 for 5 years. Have it mounted to a hardtail MTB, and bought a 2nd mount/magnet kit for my road bike so I just swap back and forth.
Once I did the setup for each bike it is dead accurate compared to my Garmin GPS. The 4-Line display is good for monitoring lots of data, and switching modes is easy.
I have never had the computer come out of the mount on the trail or road accidentally.
The temp guage is affected by direct sunlight but gives a good overall indication of the current temp.
No backlight, so not great for dusk or after-dark riding.

I keep looking at fancier computers with cadence, HR monitor interface, and wireless pickups, but can't bring myself to spend the cash when this is available. I have a pair of them and mounts on all my bikes.
The buttonless operation involves just bumping the whole computer with your hand to change screens. It's very easy to do and never happens by accident.
It has an accurate and responsive temperature sensor, which I like a lot.
A backlight would be nice for night use.

Planet Nine are excellent on motorcycles due to the information displayed. Great to know when to fill the gas tank. MPH goes to 99.9. There is also one on an electric bicycle so I know when to charge the battery. Need to splice in an extra section of wire when used on motorcycles. I have used Planet Nines for many years and never had a problem with any of them.

I don't recommend this computer. The "innovative" mounting system does not keep the unit latched in place. Its fallen off the handlebar numerous times, and that's just getting my bike out of the back of my truck! A couple of weeks ago, I went over a rock garden and it fell off on the trail shortly thereafter. I had to go look for it the next day because I didn't notice it missing until I got to the parking lot. Luckily, I found it because its white. It was in a puddle! In the off-season, I'm going to look for another brand. In the meantime, I've glued a tether to it. One other thing -- the odometer segments are starting to fade! Its only saving grace is that the numbers are fairly large and it has a resettable odometer. I don't recommend it, especially since its one of the more expensive odometers out there.

I like this computer because it has most of the information displayed on a single screen so no button presses are necessary to get the info you need. I also like the temperature display. It's clearly not a critical piece of bike info, but I find it interesting and it's helping me get a better feel for what clothing I need given the weather forecast.
Only complaint is that it does not mount to the stem. Handlebar only as far as I can tell. That's why it only gets 4/5 gears.
