You set the Cateye Mate to the circumference of the wheel in centimeters.
You can figure your tire's exact circumference in a number of ways,
but the way I like is to mark the tire & floor, and move it a number of 
wheel-turns on a straight line WITH YOU ON THE BIKE so it squishes down proper.
Then do the measurement & divide by rotations [measure with a meter-stick :-) ].

I bought my Cateye Mate about a year ago, and it has given me excellent
service.
