XOSSG Gen2 GPS Bike Computer Wireless, Bluetooth IPX7 Waterproof Cycling Computer, Rechargeable Bicycle Speedometer Odometer with 2.2 inch LCD Screen, 28 hrs Long Battery Life (XOSS APP Support)

Download the app for this device and it was easy to setup. Easy to read in BRIGHT daylight and at night time use. The price was OUTSTANDING where you can find other GPS device for over hundred of dollars that this device will do much better.

Update 12/11/24. Time to eat crow. Out of desperation I finally got the unit to turn on when connected to the charger. I then activated the Xoss app on my tablet and discovered that the internal memory was full. That unit was holding over a year's worth of bike rides and had run out of space.It took me roughly an hour to download all the information (which is quite comprehensive, down to 2D images of my rides) after which the unit went back to operating as normal.My bad. Rating goes back up and I now have a note to download the rides on a monthly basis.Update 12/2/24: Battery suddenly died today, little after one year of using this device. No warning, no indication that the battery was going bad, it just died. Will no longer charge or turn on. This is unacceptable for a unit that cost this much that it lasts roughly one year and then dies. Mind you I only use this about two hours a day.I’ve had a wide variety of bike speedometers (before they were called computers) in my 60 years of bike riding.I graduated from having an analog version that utilizing a spoke spinner connection on up to this model that uses GPS. In between, I’ve had wired and wireless versions.My last one was a wireless computer that did an admirable job but not without some serious setbacks.First, it used 2 batteries, neither of which was rechargeable. If one died, the whole system stopped working. It also had a magnet that attached to the spokes and was designed to trigger the speed module/receiver attached to the spokes. If either one got just a bit out of alignment the system would, again, shut down.An acquaintance showed me how he used his smartphone and GPS to track his speed and other stats and I thought that was neat. That was until his bike fell over one day. Goodbye $400 cell phone.And, as stable as new mounts claim to be, I’m just not willing to have my phone damaged or stolen just to see how fast and far I’ve gone.I’d heard of XOSS before, quite often mentioned as a “Garmin-like” device for bicycles.I researched Garmin bike computers and came to one conclusion – a $300 bike does not need a $200 computer.Then I say this XOSS G model for right around $30 and decided to give it a try.I wasn’t impressed upon receiving the unit; however, that was based upon the instructions which, to be honest, were seriously lacking in much explanation.For example, setting of your height and weight is done in metric equivalents, so you’d better Google your height and weight in cm and kg.Then there’s the spiel about setting your time zone using GMT.Fortunately, I saw there was an app for this that could be added to my smartphone.Voila! Time zone set without having to mess with GMT settings.As for acquiring a GPS signal, that’s a simple procedure. Turn on the unit by pressing the right button. Once on, press the left button and it finds a GPS signal in, give or take, about 15 seconds.One nice feature is that this computer not only registers mileage, time and speed, but it utilizes what I call “actual time”.Start you ride at 7 a.m. and end at 8 for an hour, right? What about that 5 minutes you spent talking to another biker or petting the neighbor’s dog?Naughty, naughty, that shouldn’t count. And it doesn’t with this unit. You stop, it stops. And it starts back up when your do. That’s when you finally discover your 1 hour ride is actually just 45 minutes.The display on this unit is nice and easy readable, even without my prescription glasses and, best of all, my polarized lenses don’t cause a rainbow effect on the screen.And, if you’re wondering, the backlight comes and stays on in the dark. Good thing since I don’t relish pushing buttons while riding.The biggest plus of all? A rechargeable battery! Yeah, not more having a computer go dead in the middle of a ride. You get about 8 hours on a charge and recharging is via USB-C.If I have to find fault with anything, it’s the mounting system. The only thing holding this computer on your bike is a pair of rubber bands. True, they may be tough rubber bands but they will eventually fail. If you want the extended mount made of tougher plastic, that’ll cost you another $10 or so.Update 11/13/23This computer has developed (or came with) a fluke in programming, or so it seems.Two days ago I did my usual morning ride of 8.66 miles. I remember that figure because I keep a log.When finished with my ride I put the bike in the shed but forgot to turn the computer off (I assumed it would have an auto-off feature – it doesn’t).This was at 7 am. I come back out at noon to do my afternoon ride when I notice the odometer now states 12.01 miles. In five hours of not touching the bike at all, it had somehow managed to log nearly 3.5 miles.Quite a feat, eh?So, I turned off the computer and charged it back up for the next morning’s ride.My shed is roughly 25 yards from my home so I turned on the computer once I got outside and by the time I got to the shed it had found the gps signal. I put the computer on a bench outside my shed so I could retrieve my bike. After a couple minutes of checking tire pressure, gearing, etc, I brought the bike outside the shed.And guess what? Stationary and sitting on a bench, the computer was showing I was moving forward at 2.6 mph and had clocked in .04 miles. In fact, it kept showing I was moving even though I wasn’t on the bike at all.Therefore, I’m dropping my rating. This unit, at least in my case, is giving false readings.

I was running a Garmin Edge 25 GPS Bike Computer and wanted something with a larger display. I didn't need connectivity for cadence, power, etc... and the specs on this unit are exactly what I was looking for.I've done several MTB rides with the XOSS Gen 2 and my Garmin GPS watch confirms the accuracy of the XOSS. The battery life is incredible! I'll get several rides in before even needing to think about recharging it. The display is easily seen while wearing sunglasses in bright Arizona sun too.There are reviews that claim this unit is difficult to program, I could NOT disagree more. I am an android user and the app is super easy to navigate. Data fields are effortless to change and it sync's automatically. Setup is a breeze and very straight forward.If you are in the market for a relatively basic GPS bike computer with a great display and awesome battery life, this is your unit!Highly recommend!!!

I received the first unit, which died during the system update. The replacement unit was able to charge (according to the battery monitor) but was not able to turn on nor could the app detect the unit. Nice feature set and great price, but clearly quality control is lacking.

Great little unit. It is not bulky, finds GPS signal fast, gives you an accurate reading and lets you to synch your rides with Strava. I like it much better than my Cycplus GPS computer I bought originally for my other bike. This unit has more features, better battery life and costs less. You can change the measurement units (m/km and F/C) in the app. Don't waste you money (as I did) on this extra mounting handle. It already comes with a low profile mounting bracket that attaches to bike's handlebar.

I want a bike computer that has a backlight which STAYS ON. This does that! I cannot figger out how to change the clock to 12h, or set the odo. I don't believe you can at this point. The app doesn't seem to be really finished, some of the menu pop-ups are in Chinese. I does refresh very quickly and you DON'T Need a sensor to the wheels. The only utube videos are for the first gen model. I bought 2 of the Risepro wireless models and really like them but THEY DON'T WORK at night. Neither of them do. This was 10$ more, is slightly smaller and not very configurable at this point June 2023 for reference. I hope more work is done to the app. This could be pretty darn cool.

I have both first and secound gen XOSS Both work great. Better then using your phone for a GPS. 2nd Gen. uploads ride much faster to your phone. I use Strava for measuring my rides. Xoss automatically downloads results to my Strava account. Look at the low price in comparison to any other with GPS.

I was looking for a small and simple bike computer that is easy to read and use. Compared to my Strava data, this one records fairly accurately. The button toggles display functions. It is a bit non-intuitive and you will need the phone app to change settings and download ride data. The battery needs charging occasionally (USB). For the money you get a lot of functions compared to other bike computers. I like the large numbers on the screen - they are very readable when riding.
