CYCPLUS GPS Wireless Bike Computer, Cycling Computer GPS with Bluetooth/ANT+, Bike Speedometer with 2.9" LCD Screen, Auto Backlight IPX6 Waterproof (New Upgraded)

I started recording my rides with Strava last year using a mount for my smartphone. I figured why buy a smart computer when I already have something capable? The drawbacks soon became apparent - 50 miles into a ride with gps and my phone was down to 15-20% battery. If I take any longer rides I risk being stranded with a breakdown somewhere with no phone. Then I took a fairly minor spill, while nothing was damaged my phone easily could have been.That's when I came across this great little computer. I'm not a stat freak, I just like to keep track of my rides on Strava to note my improvement over time. Something like a Garmin or Wahoo seemed like overkill for me, but I couldn't sync my rides with Strava with most of the cheap options.This is a great middle ground - a simple gps tracker that can upload rides to my phone. Setup was fairly easy so long as you read the manual. If using a speed sensor (my ANT+ sensor paired almost instantly) there is one thing to note. The manual says to enter wheel diameter in mm, but it means wheel CIRCUMFERENCE. The default setting of 2096 should tip you off, but just in case.I've only been riding with this for a week, but it has hit the sweet spot. It is easy to read with large numbers while on a ride, and the buttons are easy to find while riding without looking away from what's ahead of you. I have had no issues with accuracy so far, riding on cloudy days through the occasional wooded area. Rides are pretty easy to sync once you have the Xoss app, which can be setup to automatically sync to Strava as well as looking at ride data through the app itself. Battery life has been great so far, the quoted figures seem to hold up.This is a great computer as long as you understand what you're getting. A simple, affordable computer to record ride data and sync it with your apps. There is no navigation and it doesn't connect to show you phone notifications - which I consider a plus as I'm less distracted on rides, but could be an issue for some. This is exactly the sort of computer I'm looking for, and allows me to keep my smartphone safe in my saddlebag.

I bought this unit to replace an old, wired cyclometer that gave speed and distance and not much else. I wanted more information during a ride, especially cadence numbers, and the Cycplus does this for one-third to one-sixth the cost of Garmin or Wahoo units. The Cycplus has a large screen with big numbers, which is important for my aging eyes.The first unit I received was a dud; it couldn't get a GPS signal and so none of the features worked. Rather than return it to Amazon, I emailed Steven at Cycplus customer service. He responded to my email within a day and sent a replacement unit that arrived three days later. The new unit picks up a GPS signal just fine.Though I can't thoroughly test the replacement on the bike because of bad weather, I can give a five-star rating for customer support.I'll update this review after I have had a chance to ride with it and to try out speed/cadence sensors with the device.In response to other reviews: to set the wheel circumference, there is a chart on page 36 of the manual that gives the numbers you should enter based on the type of wheel your bike has. Use the number in the "mm" column.Update: I've had a chance to take the replacement unit out for rides. Without any sensors, the speedometer feature works pretty well. It can fluctuate a bit with the GPS signal, +/- 1 or 2 mph when it flicks but it seems to be okay most of the time. It worked OK even when I was climbing a hill at a slow speed (5-7mph).I purchased some Garmin v2 speed and cadence sensors to use with the unit. As mentioned in other reviews, I pair the sensors to the Cycplus unit one at a time and didn't run into any problems. With the speed sensor the speed reading fluctuates less. One issue is that with all the measurments - speed via GPS or sensor, cadence - there's a lag of about a second or two between the time you do something on the bike and the time it is reflected on the Cycplus display. That's just the nature of the way these things work, they need to measure you over time a bit in order to figure out how fast you're doing it.I tried out the smartphone app on a Google pixel phone. It was able to sync with the Cycplus unit and download the ride data without issue and display the ride data on my phone screen. The GPS route recorded by the Cycplus is of comparable accuracy as the same ride recorded via my phone GPS - sometimes one has a momentary glitch the other one does not, and vice-versa. The elevation gain also seems fairly consistent across rides.The smartphone app will also sync your ride data with Strava or TrainingPeaks (those are the only two apps supported), but I haven't tried this out.For my purposes of seeing data during a ride, and recording routes for later review, the Cycplus unit is working well so far.

If you are looking for a cycle computer that provides you with some basic metrics, can connect wirelessly to other devices, and won't break the bank... you should try this one. The display is large and clear. The battery lasts a long time before requiring a charge (months for me, but I don't ride that much). It is not touch screen and the buttons are a bit hard to get to while you are riding... but otherwise, it is a good value. The displayed speed seems consistently accurate with my Garmin watch, which is pretty good, but it does seem to jump a bit around. Maybe a better speed smoothing algorithm?
