Bike Computer Wireless GPS, Bike Speedometer with Auto Backlight, Bluetooth ANT Cycling GPS Computer, Bicycle Computer BC200 with Waterproof, Compatible with CooSporide app

[Edit 2024: used it all through 2023, some 2500 km, and still using it, no troubles. Very good.] I've used it for a few weeks, totaling about 12 trips. The bike computer is 5/5 while the app is perhaps 3/5. I had some syncing problems until I found out I had to start the app first, then leave it at the default page, before enable sync on the bike computer. After syncing, the connection stays open, so I just kill the Bluetooth on the phone, forcing a disconnect. The app then forwards data to strava without issues. The screens are very configurable via the cryptically named menu entry "Tables", and it even offered showing HR as percentage of max HR, which is all I care about (max HR reduces over time). I've set background illumination to "Auto", and see it turning on when running through underpasses etc. Very good readability both with and without backlight. As for accuracy, distances are the same as when using strava app on my phone, and when I used a "magnet-on-wheel" type of sensor before that. The speed readout fluctuates a bit, for no good reason, but that's of no real concern for me. I'm using a Coospo pulse sensor (arm band) to see my pulse, which for me is the most important metric. Being a GPS device, after configuring time zone it happily shows the time of day. The configurability of the screen content is awesome! Quite happy with this purchase!. For the price, this is a perfect device.

All hart rate, power meter, etc... paired with ease, app is great, rides upload to Strava no problem. Looks great, custom power, and hart rate zones with alarms if you want that. Custom screen configurations on 5 different pages. O.S. behaves almost exactly like Garmin units...you wont even need the manual if you'v ever gotten around one of these before. 98% exactly like the older 520, same button / menu configuration. Its light and fits Garmin out front mounts so no need to switch. I'm a cat 2 crit and track racer and this is a fantastic unit. Paired, syncs, and holds a charge better then my $499 Garmin unit. I never use a map feature so not having that ability means nothing to me but if it does to you ... I think you might be able to just use Strava directly for that. Super super impressed !!

It’s a good cycling computer. I don’t believe that you can get a better one at this price point. I purchased to possibly replace a Garmin 520 Plus that I have been having some issues with, wouldn’t upload my ride files and the screen size is a little small, hard to see the data. The Coospo has a bit larger screen but the resolution isn’t great. Too dim in my opinion at the brightest setting. That was the main reason I purchased this was in hope that the screen is easier to read. It’s not. The display is no where near as bright as it appears here. Of course you can customize the data fields and there are a ton of options so m sure I can tweak it to make things easier for me to see. If you have good eyesight may not be an issue. I find that these new GPS computers are harder to read than one without GPS. With the Coospo Ride app setup is easy that is a big plus. Synching to Strava is straightforward through the app. I gave this three stars for accuracy it may be better than that. I need to do sn a-b test against my Garmin to see what it really is and will edit my review accordingly. Bottom line if you don’t need navigation, this computer will fit the bill nicely. Tons of training data and easily pairs with your sensors as I said setup was easy. Definitely worth the money for what it does.

I am using this and the COOSPO accessories of heart, pace and velocity. In the last several months I have used this at least 10 time on road bike, fun bike with my family on bike paths, and mountain trail bike. In all conditions it has worked great and got GPS readings in city, country, and woods with very high dense forest. I have placed sensors on three different bikes which the computer keeps track of physical bike sizes and allows user to easily switch. The full outside sunlight is no problem to see the screen. Google like map path and graphs transfer to phone app. No color screen or map displayed on screen but you can have you phone with google/apple navigation next to device showing you that. This is an excellent product I love for the features and reliability it has. The price is also much better than competitors.

This seems to be a decent unit, and it performs the functions I want, but... I have had some issues getting rides synced into the mobile app. There is no provision to resync, but there is a work around. I had to navigate into the file system using a computer and change the filename to cause the app to sync the file again as if it were a new file. I feel like this unit is not closing the ride session correctly which is causing the problem in the app. I was also able to pull the file off of the device directly and upload it to Strava, so no data was lost but it was inconvenient.

I decided to upgrade my bike computer to the Coospo BC200 GPS Bike Computer, and I’m so glad I did. The bike computer and sensors were easy to install and connect to one another, which made for simple set up. The screen is easy to see even in direct sun, and I absolutely love the you can fully customize the screen layout. I have used it for many rides and have found the speed, cadence, and gps functionality to be accurate and easy to use. Best of all, the battery life of the Coospo BC200 is amazing. I ride most days, and only have to charge it every couple months! Overall it’s a great quality bike computer at a great price!

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: 5.0/5.0 Hardware 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: 5.0/5.0 Solid 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 measurements Settings: 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 device Bikes: 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, avg Time: current active time, time paused, total (active + paused), time of day, lap & lap last lap time, total # of laps Distance: total for current ride, lap & last lap distance, ODO Heart rate: current, avg, max, %max, %LTHR; lap & last lap avg, HR zone Cadence: current, avg, max, lap & last lap avg/max, cadence zone Power: 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 zone Altimeter: current, max, min, elevation gain/loss, current grade, avg up/down grade, max up/down grade, elevation change over lap and last lap Temp: current, max, min Energy: cal (kcal)

Just got this today and I've already used it. I've owned a number of GPS computers for my bike. All of them have been around the same size, which in the grand scheme of things isn't very big. Sometimes, while navigating some rather difficult situations (traffic, pot-hole filled roads, etc.) it's kind of difficult to see what you need to see on those. Not this one. This computer is really big. It was easy to program and it's easy to read (unless you need to see all 70 data points that it can show you). It's more than bright enough during the day. And there are two ways to attach it to the handlebars. Overall, considering the price as well as all of the features, I think this rates a 5. *UPDATE* The computer, itself, works great. And, yes, it's waterproof. Can't say the same for the app. It sucks. After repeated efforts to connect to my phone with the app, I've given up. The computer is just going to have to stay in the format that it is and it won't get update or any other changes. Considering the value given for the price paid, not being able to use the app isn't a deal buster.
