Large print computers

Has anyone come across a sub-$150 computer with an easy to read display?

As much as I hate to admit it, I can't see as well as I used to be able
to. So reading a my bike computer, especially at night is a nit of a
problem. I have done a couple of Audax rides at night recently and being
able to read the trip distance is essential.

I have tried a few models of computer but none seem to have a clear
display of time and distance. I don't really care all that much about
current speed but it seems to be what computers focus on.

TIA for ideas

The Sigma 906 I used to have had larger numbers and was much easier to
read than the Cateye Velo 8 that is currently on the bike. Both cost
around $50.

Several people have independently recommended sigma computers. I'm going
to give one a go and see how if works out on my next overnight ride.
