Some users complain about the calorie estimate but I don't worry about that. I'm not trying to lose weight and I already know what I need to do to lose that 3-5 lbs of belly pudge if I really wanted to get back to my optimal weight. I just need to cut out the sugar and cut back on the junk carbs. But I'm not that concerned about a few lbs.
I might eventually get a better bike computer, but these two XOSS G+ units will be fine for my workouts and casual rides. If I ever need real navigation aids I'll consider a Garmin, Wahoo, Lezyne or Bryton.
I agree, it's a fine computer, just some of the small quirks need to be addressed in the app. Everything transferred to Strava great other than the calories burned which was not accurate by about 700-800 calories extra, that's not a huge deal and I also wasn't using any Heart monitor so it may of been more accurate if I had the strap on. I wonder now if my watch would synced to the Xoss as a heart rate monitor. I did find the feature on my watch that allows it to sync up to bike computers which is a plus for me because I really never enjoyed wearing the straps.
