That stopping and starting is signalled by a beep and it’s very quick. I’ve set-up my XOSS G to auto pause and this means the unit stops when I stop and restarts when I do.Each screen has a different set of metrics, including e.g average speed, altitude, maximum speed, and current clock.

The three screens are not customisable but, in practice, this isn’t an issue for me.

Whilst cycling, I use the main screen (speed, ride time and distance) on the XOSS G but it’s also possible to switch between two other screens of data with a button press. The XOSS comes with a handlebar mount which is closely similar to a Garmin mount I’ve used the XOSS with Garmin mount on all my rides.Wait for GPS satellite connection, which takes less than a minute normally, and then ride! At the start of a cycle ride, press one button to power up the unit, then press the other button to get a GPS signal. It’s easy to use with two multi-function buttons below the screen. I’ve used the XOSS G on several rides now and I’m very happy with it. I didn’t want the sensor connection ability of the G+ and the G model was my choice. I didn’t know anything about the XOSS G before but it received positive comments and reviews along with its more fully featured G+ model, which will work with different sensors like HR straps.

I chose the cheaper option, partly to save money and also to try something different. I spent a few days researching replacements and the choice for me came down to either a more expensive Garmin Edge 130 or a cheaper non-Garmin computer. Here’s my review of the XOSS G GPS cycle computer. My trusty Garmin is over 7 years old and its battery 1 no longer lasts more than a few hours. I have replaced my Garmin Edge 200 with a XOSS G Cycling Computer.
