Review on 🚴 XOSS G+ GPS Bike Computer with Bicycle Mount, Bluetooth ANT+ Cycling Computer, Wireless Bicycle Speedometer Odometer, Waterproof MTB Tracker with Heart Rate Monitor & Cadence Sensor Support by Christopher Millet

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good screen but difficult to read

As of January 2021 I have had this G+ GPS bike computer for about two months. I don't have any sensors connected to it (like speed or cadence). Basically I wanted to track speed, time cycle and distance; and does it satisfactorily. The first thing you need to do is create an XOSS account for G+ to work. When I first found out I needed to create an account with a Hong Kong based company I almost decided to return G+, but in the end I decided to create an account to give it a try. I use G+ on a recumbent trike; It attaches to the accessory mount about 12 inches above the left wheel axle. This keeps my eyes about 30 inches from the G+ screen, and the poor contrast of the dark gray numbers against the screen's light gray background makes it impossible to read the smaller numbers on the screen while driving and only in bright sunlight. Speed is difficult to see. So speed is pretty much the only thing I can see while driving, and I have to stop to read any of the other data screens. That wouldn't be a problem if I could mount the G+ closer to my face, like on a bike. The mounts that came with the G+ do not fit my glider's accessory mount; Additional rubber grommets are not provided to accommodate different diameters of possible attachment points. I had to wrap the bushings myself for the included fasteners to work. While the device records the data I'm interested in satisfactorily, once I've stopped recording a ride or workout, nothing about the ride can be viewed on the G+ itself. Trip data must be downloaded to your phone in order to view it. So overall, while reasonable, I'm not overly impressed with G+.

Pros
  • Available for peripherals
