Review on 🚴 XOSS G+ Bike Computer GPS: Wireless Cycling Computers with Speedometer, Bluetooth 5.0 & ANT+, IPX7 Waterproof by Jeff Leu

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Display has no contrast

This device has broken. It has GPS and can communicate with your phone and Ant+ devices. That's more than your average Cateye or Sigma cycle computer can do for the same price. I have a display problem. The viewing angle is not great. There is a lack of contrast when viewed directly, especially when the backlight is on. It seems to be adjusted so that the contrast is optimal when viewed at an angle. I thought that maybe it was installed that way because the device can be mounted in front of the handlebars, but I remembered that the device can still be outside and still perpendicular to your eyes. I asked Xoss and the seller if they knew about it. Possibility to adjust the contrast. Xoss didn't respond and the seller thought I was talking specifically about the backlight. In fact, you cannot upload gpx files or any other data directly from the device or from the Xoss app. After syncing an activity that takes longer than intended, you can sync your data to Strava. You can download data from Strava. There is no integration with first aid kits. The Xoss app will ask for age, gender, weight, height, etc. which could be pre-filled in a first aid kit integration. When I think about it, I'm not even sure why the app even needs this data since it doesn't use it for anything.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Upgrades
