High Quality Value for Price and Tons of Features
UPDATE:You can see below what I thought about this thing after using it for a few months. Lasted just over a year before it would no longer sync with my computer. Dropped the unit once and the tab that holds the computer in the mounting bracket snapped off. Cheap plastic. No customer support. Don't waste the money. Shoulda gone with a Garmin in the first place, then I wouldn't be shopping for one right now.=====TL;DR:=====Features: 5.0/5.0Hardware construction: 4.5/5.0 (out-front mount is a little too flexy, buttons REALLY need to be mashed)Accuracy: 4.8/5.0 (0.5 sec lag/altimeter calibration via GPS is inaccurate)Value for price: 5.0/5.0Solid 4.8/5.0! Comes with screen protector! Easy to sync with sensors and GPS. Easy to sync data with computer and Bluetooth, although the Bluetooth connection seems super sketchy (see Options and Features below). I left a long review because I saw a lot of complaints in other reviews about the instructions being hard to follow. SPOILER ALERT: there’s only 12 brief pages, 3 of which are parts listings. You are otherwise on your own. You’re welcome. There are a ton of options that this model has that are not even mentioned in the ad. When I uploaded ride data to Strava, it reported the data came from a Garmin Edge 500, so the computer uses a chipset based on the Garmin Edge 500 – or the same one – which still sells for $200. Because there are so many options and display options, I sat down with the computer messing around with it for about 2 hours before using it and I recommend you do the same. You’ll thank yourself later if you do some workouts on a trainer before taking the computer on your first ride. The computer arrived charged to about 95% and it was ready to use right out of the box. The computer exhibits little to no vibration during ride, given the flexibility of the out-front mount. The device is easy to install and use and the sensors are super easy to connect. Although the device doesn’t offer turn-by-turn directions, there are PLENTY of data points recorded for the cycling data junkie. Charging/sync port is on the bottom versus the side, which is pretty awkward. The altitude DEFINITELY needs to be set manually because the info from GPS was off by about 800 feet, but that amount will be different for each user. Regardless, the altimeter seems to be accurate within 3 feet after it is calibrated. Sensors are easy to connect although there is a slight lag in sensor data even when connected with ANT+ (~0.5 sec), which isn’t bad at all for a budget computer that is pretty accurate and sensitive to changes detected by the sensors. The lag is negligible.====================**Options and Features**:==================== Despite some reviews, the manual is easy to follow. It’s missing a lot of info you have to find out just by using it, but it gets right to the point. Don’t expect the manual to hold your hand and walk you through every setting, but I was able to successfully set the computer up just following the directions. The computer has enough memory to hold around 2400 km of data, 3 bikes, and 1 user.Installation: Super easy. Comes with out-front mount and handlebar mount. Comes with various sizes of rubber rings to fit almost any thickness of handlebar. Out-front mount is a little bit too flexible so it makes operating the buttons mildly difficult while riding, but this might be a good thing that keeps it from snapping in half if you bump it. Quarter-turn installation for both mounts.Data Sync: First and foremost, DO NOT USE BLUETOOTH TO SYNC YOUR DATA! You have to download the XOSS app from whatever app store you use. I connected over Bluetooth just fine. The app was able to pull all of the data from the computer successfully. The computer confirmed the connection on its screen, but my phone never registered the connection although it was able to transfer data to the app. The computer didn’t even appear in my Bluetooth settings (Android) and I never got a connection icon at the top of my screen (yes, Bluetooth was turned on). Super sketchy security. Not sure how XOSS managed to pull that one off, but for the sake of phone security don’t use it. Bluetooth shouldn’t be able to connect without meeting specific criteria and I don’t have this issue with other Bluetooth devices. Last thing I need is malware installed on my phone from some random Chinese-made fitness app. If you want to sync your data, just plug the thing into your computer and drag-and-drop. The ride data is stored in a folder called “fit activity.” FYI, you can’t use any of the menus on the cycling computer while it’s in sync mode.Buttons: Somewhat hard to press at about 8-10 lbs of pressure. You need to use two hands when it’s not mounted. When the computer is mounted you still need to use your hand to press on both sides of the computer because the mounts flex a little too much. However, the buttons are spaced far enough away from each other that they are still easy to use with gloves.Temp sensor: The internal thermometer is REALLY sensitive to the point that setting all of the menus will make it spike about 15-20 degrees F. I let it cool down to room temp before using it and it was pretty accurate at detecting ambient temperature while on my trainer. I haven’t used it in the full sun yet, so I can’t speak to the accuracy there.GPS : **Be sure to set the options for GPS type!** I saw some reviews where users had issues connecting to GPS for the first ride, which is a prerequisite for using the computer. I repeat: the computer MUST connect to GPS once before it will let you use it the first time! If you are in North America set to GPS only; Europe set to GPS+Glonass. It comes set to GPS+Beidou by default. If you are not in China IT WILL NEVER CONNECT. Be sure you have a clear view of the sky.Altimeter: NEED to calibrate in settings. The altitude data that was set via GPS was off by about 800 feet. Just Google altitude data for wherever you’re riding and set it manually or save to one of the five pre-set locations. After that the altimeter seems to be accurate +/- 3 feet.User: the weight and height input is in decimal form, so you have to enter feet as a whole number and divide your inches by 12 to get the fractional part if you’re using imperial measurementsSettings: You can set zones for cadence/heart rate/power, as well as alarms for all three (max/min thresholds), smart pause (when you stop riding), altitude calibration (5 preset elevations for known locations), toggle beep on/off, backlight (brightness/dark mode), units (imperial/metric), time format, language, see storage capacity, reset deviceBikes: Holds data for up to 3 bikes, however, the weight only goes down to 6.0 lbs. This is a minor issue that will only affect your ride data if you are on the trainer. The weight is used to calculate things like how many calories you burn. On a trainer you’re not pushing any weight, bike and body included. You can set sensor priority of speed data (cadence+speed sensor/speed sensor only/GPS). I don’t recommend using GPS because it’s not as accurate as a sensor because of GPS lag. There’s an ODO for each bike. I use the same bike on the road and on the trainer so I can easily separate my data for both types of workouts.==========Display Data:========== Some of the data display options have somewhat unintuitive names for average user – like Time.Move (current active ride time) among others – and the manual doesn’t explain any of them. You just need to mess around with the options and see what the data looks like when it’s displayed on the ride info screens. You can have up to 5 pages of data (under “Table”), with as little as 2 or as much as 9 data values displayed at a time. You can switch through the screens manually with the side buttons or set the computer to automatically switch between all of them at a pre-set interval.Speed: current, max, avg, lap & last lap max, avgTime: current active time, time paused, total (active + paused), time of day, lap & lap last lap time, total # of lapsDistance: total for current ride, lap & last lap distance, ODOHeart rate: current, avg, max, %max, %LTHR; lap & last lap avg, HR zoneCadence: current, avg, max, lap & last lap avg/max, cadence zonePower: current, avg, max, %FTP(threshold power), normalized, training stress score, variability index(power pace over workout), 3-30s avg, intensity factor, lap & last lap avg/max power, power zoneAltimeter: current, max, min, elevation gain/loss, current grade, avg up/down grade, max up/down grade, elevation change over lap and last lapTemp: current, max, minEnergy: cal (kcal)

Functionality is a little clunky but does the trick.
This was my first bike computer - I was mainly wanting to get an idea of how many calories I was burning along with the total miles traveled. This was one of the few computers that shows calories and I was thrilled with that. From my understanding, it considers your age and weight along with distance and time and figures the calories from there - it's not exact as everyone burns them differently but this was enough to give me an idea. I later added in a heart monitor strap which really tuned in on a more precise number for the calories.Connecting this computer to sensors seemed easy enough - they were found without issue and remained connected. I wish they would name these things with words instead of numbers though - when you start adding several sensors, it gets a little challenging to keep track of which is which.Here are my biggest gripes about this little device:-The buttons are firm and need some strength to push in. There are 2 on the left and 2 on the right and seeing as they are laid out directly across from one another on either side along with the firmness needed to press them, your hand tends to press the buttons on the opposite side since you need some counter pressure (you can't just press a button with a single finger, it would probably break the band that holds the device on your bike) - this, to me was a design flaw and you have to be mindful when pressing the buttons. Staggering them between one side to another would have been a better solution I feel.-Another issue is the menu systems - it seems like they have options that require more presses and scrolling than are necessary. It would seem to me that, for example, a bluetooth connection would be preferred over the other for connecting to my phone to sync my data. Bluetooth is second in the list of syncing connections so there is an extra scroll button press then a selection press. And when you have buttons like this, you don't want to have to press any of them more than necessary.-The temperature reading is laughable. I couldn't figure it out until I realized I think it's determining the temperature of the actual device, not the air outside. So if it's sitting on your handle bars, baking in the sun, the temperature will reflect that...I really doubt it was 111 degrees out the other day on my ride during a crisp spring day.-The screen is not very bright and with cycling glasses on, I have to look under the lenses most times to see the data on it. I like the backlight, haven't really ridden at night to take advantage of it though.-The rubber band that holds it onto the handlbars tends to get weak - I've busted 3 of them just trying to adjust the device, remove it from the mount or tilt it to the right angle. Learning curve for me here.-There is no auto-off during a ride. Despite the fact it says in the manual that it will shut off after 10 minutes of no motion, the device remains on if you're not on a ride. It would be great to have the option to have it auto shut off after a designated time. There are just some times I don't want to mess with those buttons and go straight in from a ride to rest and clean up.The things I like:-Displays calories burned (estimated without a heart rate monitor)-Small and compact-Customizable screen-Backlight=================UPDATE===================I wanted to add in to this review the fact that if you've purchased this unit and are relying on the rubber bands provided to secure it to your handle bars, that rubber band best be replaced every couple months at the most. Mine just broke and the I lost the device on a ride - looked down to see it gone - no idea when or where but it was there a few minutes before. The temperature feature was never fixed on this device and for some reason, it started auto syncing without my consent, attempting to resync all the records that were already synced previously. Maybe losing the device was a sign for me to get a little something better. This bike computer DID do the trick for a while though - I suppose it belongs to someone else now.

Reasonably priced bike computer
Have used for a few weeks and seems to be working well. Comes with both a more permanent mount and a mount with rubber bands that could be used for quick switch to a temporary bike. I like the fact that you can adjust the display to show just the inputs that you want. Have compared to Strava app using my phone and the numbers (distance, avg. speed) seem to match up fairly well although I have had some small differences on some rides. As others have mentioned, the temperature reading seems to be drastically inaccurate. Wish display was a little larger. Will be looking to add cadence sensor and possibly heart rate monitor in future. Based on price, am still happy with purchase.

Very good inexpensive cycling computer
This cycling computer is easy to use and is responsive. It has a long battery life, so you don't have to worry about charging it too often.The bluetooth sync is very convenient, so that you don't have to plug this via usb to sync your workout. One problem though is that the CooSpo ride app isn't the best. I have to log-in every time I close and open the app, even if I had just logged in a moment ago. It does let you automatically sync to Strava though.I combined this with a HR monitor and one-sided pedal power meter to get heart rate, speed, power, and cadence.Since it's a budget cycling computer, it won't read dual-sided power and doesn't have any turn-by-turn navigation capabilities like you would with a higher end computer like the Garmin Edge. Otherwise, it's a very good no-fuss GPS cycling computer.
