  • It's Coros. Not "Corus". They do pretty good sports watches, frequent updates, excellent customer service.
  • Coros in running are kings, very respectable in triathlon and swimming. With a device focused on cycling I expect more upgrades in the software department related with cycling metrics. Very exciting product.

    Hi David, Just a point of clarification. MIP screens while similar to the e-ink screens which are used in e-readers is not the same. I think MIP is great in this application, I personally don't think we need cinematic quality on every device. Thanks for the early review, hope to see a long term follow-up.

    OK - it has its time and place - but cycling without any metrics should not be underestimated - love riding along without being reminded of time, speed, distance, etc, etc, etc from time to time
  • @tokovictor168
    With so many devices that need to be charged everyday, a "charged & forget" cyclo would be a blessing 😂

    Wished they’d done an under display solar panel. It looks awkward but the price is great. I would anticipate regular FW updates to add features and iron out bugs. Their track record is good. I assume it has radar support, absolutely vital these days. I would take a more basic screen over a fancy display any time if it means good legibility in all conditions, surely a main criteria when riding. I love Wahoo’s display technology and use a Bryton 420 because of its bonded display.

    GPLama doesn't think it's fully completed yet........

    I like this computer style looks a bit retro. Solar charging is very sweet for the price
  • @sherab2078
    Ok, looks interesting. But can someone advise me on some device, with mostly navigation in mind, with long battery life and reasonably precise speed and altitude measuring? I'm not interested in most of the performance stuff, like power, heartbeat and so on - just current and average speeds, and climbing/descending heights. I normally use my smartphone and the Komoot app for navigation, but this eats up the battery very fast. It's fine for shorter rides up to maybe 50-70 km, depending on the day. But for anything longer may not suffice.
  • Good for a multi day gravel / bike packing trip but maybe not so much for a typical roadie
  • @coinopanimator
    I like the coros app. It would be great to bring it all together
  • @mattm00ey
    They won't blimmin deliver to Australia.
  • @JIMMYHIBBS1
    they have or haven't paid for the review? Wasn't clear
  • @skoydavid7678
    I like the watch-style operation very much, it’s very convenient!Gramin is too expensive!!!
  • @John2751
    I simply don't understand GPS bike computers Why should I pay a decent smartphones price for a piece of outdated tech from 2010s'??
