XOSSG+ Bike Computer GPS, Wireless Cycling Computers Bicycle Computer GPS Bike Speedometer, Bluetooth 5.0 & ANT+, IPX7 Waterproof

I wanted to buy a bike computer/GPS instead of using my phone as it kept using a lot of battery especially on longer rides. I initially bought a Garmin watch, but returned it due to not really needing all the extra features. I looked online and did some research and came across the Xoss brand. Looked up videos on YouTube and there didn't have a lot of information, but the reviews on here convinced me to get it and there was a lightning deal for $25, so I said why not. The first xoss I had for about 3 days and it wouldn't connect to GPS for minutes (5+) and once it connected it only showed one bar and kept going in and out. Got a replacement and that one has done a pretty good job so far. It's pretty accurate (+- 3%) regarding distance if I map everything out.Pros:-The computer does a good job of recording distance, speed, cadence (with sensors)-$25 its a pretty good entry level GPS if thats all the information you need.-Battery life is roughly 20-25 hours with GPS on-Easy to connectComplaints:-The gps has trouble connecting when you are indoors, while the Garmin had almost no trouble for me. The solution I have for it is before I go riding I turn it on and leave it by the window. Once I start riding it usually is instant connection, but at most 5-10 seconds after leaving it on for a minute by a window to connect.-Going under bridges, tunnels, and anything with cover can disturb the GPS signal. If its a long tunnel then yes most devices will lose connection, but if its a tunnel thats maybe 50 feet long, it will start to lose its connection even when riding through it quickly. Its 50/50 with forest areas, but as a road rider I usually dont have issues with this device.-The only way to upload data is using the xoss app. im not a huge fan of the app as its something glitchy and syncing takes sometime (<3 min for the most part).Overall/TLDR: If you want a cheap bike GPS, this gets the job done, if you want maps/extremely reliable maybe go with a more well known brand (Garmin, Wahoo, etc). For the $25 price I paid, I have zero regrets and its 70-80% less than a well known brand with similar functionality. I think at $50 its still not a bad deal, but if you can catch a deal id recommended it.

Terrible documentation, but once you figure things out, this is a very good cycling computer for the price.GPS signal: The unit is very bad with acquiring GPS signal indoors. It's poor in a heavily wooded area or in a city. It's very good in a suburb or open area. I need to test this further, but it's maybe not a great choice if you ride in a city.Sync: The unit is finicky about sync-ing. After a ride, it will tell you there are no new workouts. You have to try disconnecting and reconnecting a few times. Eventually they show up. I haven't lost a ride yet.Exporting .fit files: you can export them using the XOSS app; go to "workouts", click on your ride, upper right "export" icon, you can mail it to yourself or save to Files. Works on my iPhone.Heart Rate monitor: Connects flawlessly with the XOSS heart rate monitor.

If you *only* want to ride outside, see your realtime data from wireless sensors, and report those routes and activity to Strava, this is a good unit and a good deal. It's well made, accuracy tracks to my Garmin watch, and battery life seems fine. The mount is very stiff, so the rubber bands stretch quite a bit mounting/unmounting it. Suspect an out-front mount is necessary if you don't want those bands to stretch out and lose the device. The app is flaky, you often have to restart it or the device to get it to connect.The big problem for me is that while it will display speed from a sensor, it will ONLY calculate elapsed/total distance and time via GPS, which means if you, like me, are using an indoor trainer or spin bike all winter, there is no way to show/sync this info. Lost one star for that, and because the answers on the product page about this were inconsistent, the product description didn't disclose it, and the manual didn't mention it.Lost another star because I tried to get in touch with XOSS via email and social media, never heard back. Their entire social media presence is just pointless posts that look automatic/scheduled, with comments full of people begging for support. This is apparently a huge company in China, where their app is more popular than Strava, so it's sad that they don't have real customer support.For now I'm returning this device and running the free Wahoo Fitness or Velodash apps on a phone instead (still comparing the two), with a battery pack connected for long rides. In the spring I'll probably break down and get one of the similar, better-supported offerings from Bryton or Lezyne which *do* allow indoor training- simply because they are more trustworthy than a phone in wet weather.

I have been using the Xoss G+ for a couple of weeks now and I am pleased with it at this point. Those who thought they could use it inside will find that it is not intended for indoor use. For me, outside, the GPS connects within less than 30 seconds and has a good signal most of the time. I use a heart rate monitor strap and it connects and works great. Some reviews indicated low battery life. I just recharged the unit and have been measuring the time of use. So far I still have 2 of 3 bars on the battery indictor, and have used it for almost 8 hours riding time. I do not use the backlight, so that would likely lower battery life considerably. I do not use the cadence or speed sensors. The GPS gives fairly accurate speed, as far as I can tell. I connected a wired computer to my bike and it is identical to the Xoss speed and distance. The only negative is that it seems to take a little while to connect a ride to my iphone and the app, but letting it sit for a few minutes before trying seems to help. Sometimes I have to reconnect a couple of times, but it has always worked. For the cost and ease of use, for my purposes the Xoss is great, and I highly recommend it. It has worked great for me so far.Now having used the G+ for a little over a year, I am very pleased with it. A couple of firmware updates took care of the connection issues for me. Still highly recommend!

I'm torn with this device. It has gps and can communicate with your phone and ant+ devices. That's more than your basic cateye or sigma bike computer can do at the same price.The problem I have is the display. The viewing angle isn't great. When you look straight at it, it lacks contrast, especially with the backlight on.. It seems to be adjusted in a way that the contrast is optimal when you look at it from an angle. I thought maybe it was set this way because the device might be mounted out front on handlebars, but I remembered the device could still be out front and still be angled perpendicular to your eyes.I asked both Xoss and the seller if they know of a way to adjust the contrast. Xoss didn't reply and the seller thought I was talking about the backlight specifically.You can't really download gpx files or any other kind of data directly from the device or from the Xoss app. After syncing the activity, which takes longer than it should, you can have the data sync with Strava. From Strava you can download the data.There is no health kit integration. The Xoss app asks for your age, sex, weight, height etc, which could be prefilled out if there was health kit integration. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure why that data is even needed by the app considering it doesn't use it for anything.
