Review on ๐Ÿšด CYCPLUS M1: Waterproof ANT+ Wireless GPS Bike Computer with LCD Display and Backlight - Perfect for Tracking Speed and Distance on Your Bicycle by Jonathan Germain

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reasonably priced but packed with features

I was looking for a reasonably priced bike computer that could record power meter readings. The CYCPLUS M1 is incredibly cheap, but well made with all functions. I have a Garmin Edge 1030 (used on my exercise bike) and a XOOM G+ (used on my commuter bike). The M1 is a big upgrade from the XOOM G+ and I like its large backlit screen which is easy to see even in direct sunlight. Its high-resolution 2.9-inch screen has even more pixels per inch than the Garmin 1030's 3.5-inch color LCD, allowing it to display tons of information on one page: speed, cadence, heart rate, power, time, temperature, battery/satellite/ blue. /Record status, LAP, ODO and GRA. Pros: 1) Its large screen can display more than 1030 content in one page. All letters are very easy to read due to anti-glare backlight technology. 2) The low price is 10 times cheaper than the Garmin 1030. 3) Longer battery life thanks to the backlit screen. Unlike my 1030 (20 hour battery life) the CYCPLUS M1 has a 30 hour battery life and I've used it for weeks on a single charge. 4) Well-made and thoughtful display layout. Even with a lot of travel information displayed, the screen is not very busy for me. 5) Unlike other cheap GPS bike computers, the M1 can display power meter information, which is a must for me. Cons: Unlike Garmin's bike computer, MI doesn't show real-time map information on gaps. That's not a problem for me as I don't need a GPS map to navigate off-road. When I train out of state, I still use the Google map on my phone.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Weight
