Met my requirements
I bought the XOSS G+ bike computer and two speed/cadence sensors (combo 2) about three weeks ago and rode about 300 miles using these items. I use my bike only for outdoor exercises, and this gadget meets my requirements.Pros.1. Friendly and responsive XOSS team. They quickly fixed program bug in the XOSS App I asked.2. Cheapness.3. Readable screen despite the small size.4. Rain resistance. I used this gadget when it rained for a half hour.5. GPS.6. There is the XOSS App with maps, charts, and data. I have iOS 13.4.1.7. Possibility to link the STRAVA App and one other application using the XOSS App.8. Two XOSS speed/cadence sensors work reasonably well and are separately compatible with the WAHOO App using BT. These days I changed the battery of the cadence sensor once.9. The computer is compatible with another bike sensor. I used a heart rate sensor from another company.Cons.1. Cheap material of screen protective window. There were scratches on the window these days.2. Some problems with GPS. Once I rode about 7 thousand miles in a half hour with the fantastic speed measured by GPS. Nevertheless, the sensor helped fix this problem.Features.1. The speed values measured by GPS and the sensor may be different on winding mountain roads.2. I could not connect the cadence and speed sensors to the WAHOO App at the same time.3. At first use, some soft- and hardware elements are not very clear, then they become simple.4. Screen info is not read clearly in the reflected light of street lamps at night.

Small but powerful bike computer that is surprisingly affordable.
I primarily bought the bike computer after a crash realizing that I need to have a working phone when I go biking. Up until then Strava was used to map my rides and I had no cadence information.For the price this is a great gadget. I will not get into the technical details as they are available on the product page but would like to list the features I find most useful.Love that the G+ and ANT+/BLuetooth connectivity. This allows pairing with any sensor that has appropriate connectivity. The ability to program the device using the Phone software is useful. Makes it easier to set parameters and your preferences. The back light makes evening rides a lot easier. It claims a built in barometer that I believe is used for elevation. The built in battery is good and I have only charged it once since I got it. Since that charge I have used the device for about 20 hours now.Pairing sensors was not all that straight forward. Living in a world where devices work right out of the box and connect automatically by just turning them on, I must admit that My expectations were similar. It was a little bit of a struggle but there are plenty of YouTube videos that explain the process. Essentially You need to enter the setup mode by pressing both buttons and then ensure that the sensors are nearby. Keep moving the sensors and wear your Heart rate monitor for it to connect to the device. Once the symbols stop flashing, the sensors are connected. This only needs to be done initially when first pairing the sensors or when adding a new sensor. For the sensors to show data on the device pairing is essential. Once I was able to figure out how to pair the sensors, everything works seamlessly. Similarly, connect your Strava account to the XOSS APP before going in your rides or using the device. The first time I tried it game me an error. I disconnected and reconnected Strava and everything worked. Also you need the XOSS app to import data which is then pushed to Strava.The device has built in GPS which is nice in ensuring that your route is captured. The GPS feature here is not meant to give you directions. This was not my expectation but realize that for some this may seem misleading.The manuals need work and I wouldn’t rely on them. Fortunately there are several YouTube videos available.I chose the G+ for the added benefit of ANT+ connectivity and hear rate monitoring. Other features are similar.The XOSS app is good bout would love to eliminate the middle man. Would be nice if I could directly import to Strava or TrainingPeaks without using the XOSS app. That is perhaps the only complaint.Overall, great little device with GPS, speed, cadence and heart rate connectivity (sensors need to be bought separately). Would highly recommend getting this device if you are biking and don’t need power data or turn-by-turn directions.

Display is nice but GPS is lacking
It is very nice display, first issue I have is that here in the US, everything is in MPH, I bought the speed sensor so I didn't have to run the GPS all the time but when the GPS is not running, it registers in KPH even though the display says MPH. So I run the GPS all the time to get accurate info. Next issue is when I do download the info to Strava, sometimes all I get is a straight line on the map, the route is not shown on the map. All the info is correct but the map is not.

Good Value for Features
First unit that was sent had a dead battery. Returned and replaced through Amazon - very quick and efficient. Setting up the unit was not the easiest - not a lot of documentation, but persevered and got the unit up and running. Once it was set up correctly the computer and sensors functioned as expected. The APP not so much. Ask for support from Xoss and they have responded most of my issues have been resolved. For the price point, I think this is an excellent purchase. I was looking for heart rate and cadence info on the bike this unit fulfills those expectations. It connects to Training Peaks and Strava, uploading work data and maps. I would recommend this unit to bikers who want to spend less $100 on a bike computer.

Wildly inaccurate and inconsistent
First off it's anoying that the computer won't even work unless you have the app open on your phone and with you on your bike. Second, the cadence and mph numbers seemed off from the get go, I had to go through installation steps several times to make sure i had set everything correctly including entering the wheel size and setting the units to imperial, etc. The MPH seemed too high at first and even clocked me at 28 MPH riding at a normal speed on a flat bike path, that was after i had checked and double checked that I had programmed everthing correctly. After a few days the MPH seemed more accurate, or at least believable, but i hadn't changed anthing. However After a morning commute to work i turned off the computer and closed the app, then reopened the app and turned on the computer as I was leaving work and realized that my morning ride wasn't recorded in my workouts on the app, I set off to run an errand and when I arrived at my location and I now see my morning ride in the workouts (see the photo) my commute to work is 1 mile and takes 5-6 minutes and look what it says, apparently I went 38.97 miles in 5 minutes and 19 seconds! And, as a crow flies, no need for roads or bike paths just a straight line off S/E riding through fields, over fences , rivers, crossed the highway in a random spot. What am I doing with my life I should be riding pro with numbers like this?! Anyway, save your money and your time and don't waste it messing with this Chinese junk. Don't ignore the bad reviews like I did. Maybe the app works better on android than iPhone? But hard to believe that it could ever be reliable, I wouldn't trust this data. Just so glad I tested this out soon enough and still have time to return it.
