Had this device for about a day and tested with a short ride. The app can be a bit slow and poorly translated but overall it's easy to use and sends data and updates between phone and device easily. I had some issues getting the background maps for navigation downloaded. First you have to connect your device to wifi in the "wifi" section on the app, then go into your device, go to settings, maps, and hit download. then you can download maps for your specific regions. Pretty strange way of doing things but it works. The device itself records data accurately, the touchscreen is alright and may need a couple presses to register sometimes. The data display fields are easy to set up and very customizable. I take a less is more approach when it comes to my data displays (just wanna see elapsed time, hr, 3s second power, maybe np for certain rides), and the layout allow for all kinds of formats. This part is very very good. For the price this is an amazing little device and is great if you don't need all the fitness tracking and ai bs features from mainstream brands. Read more
My first Magene purchase was a HR armband monitor which was accurate and affordable(~1/2 the price of Garmins) and I was happy with it. When I wasn’t able to update the maps on my Garmin 810 do to it’s ancient technology I decided on buying a new bike computer. The Garmins and the Wahoos were pretty pricey, and I understand that if your competitive, but I was just looking for an affordable, simple to use, computer. This little bike computer has a lot of bang for your buck(~$120.00). Simple to setup,easy to use, with all the bells and whistles I would ever need. Great navigation that you can setup in multiple screen. You can map your own routes that will create waypoints for turn by turn and street names. The unit is smallish but the bold fonts are easy to read even in bright sunlight. I normally don’t review products but this is such a bargain buy that I felt it was worth it. Read more

DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU'RE PREPARED TO UPDATE IT BEFORE EVERY RIDE. This is absolutely pathetic. The people who make sell this POS should be ashamed of themselves, to say nothing of some of its weirder features, i.e. routing you home if you're even slightly off course when you start a ride. This thing is cheap for a reason, and it isn't a good one. You've been warned... Read more
This computer is perfect especially for the price point. Connects with strava without any issues Read more
Why did you pick this product vs others?: The display and the app to manage the screens seem better than the Garmin 530 I have, and the price point is definitely very good. Connecting my sensors was very easy also. But downloading routes from Strava or ride-with-gps is not seamless. Need to download gpx file and then upload. This wasn't too bad, but I needed to upload the route for the Seattle to Portland ride, which is about 330km, and this device can only handle routes less than 300km :( probably not an issue for most cases, but this is the kind of ride where I rely most on my bike computer as the phone battery would not last the ride. Going to return this and get something else. Probably a wahoo, as my Garmin 530 keeps dropping and reconnecting the sensors. And anyways pogi is on wahoo :) Read more
A little complicated to set up but all in all it’s a good computer. Better than spending 5x on a Garmin. Read more
