Summary: This is a feature packed device with ability to customize settings. Paired with the phone app and website I think it delivers a great value.

Setup: I have used an iGS50S on my road bike for years and was going to get another for my MTB. When I saw the new iGS630 I decided to try it on my road bike. Initial startup prompted to setup standard settings like timezone and preferred units of measure. After initial setup, pairing with my existing speed, cadence and heart ANT+ sensors took only a few minutes. I did each individually but there is a Search All mode which probably would have been quicker. Since I already had the phone app I did not have to install anything on my phone and the iGS630 paired up easily.

Phone App: Years ago the phone app was a bit glitchy but over time updates have eliminated all issues that I encountered and I ran into no problems with the iGS630. Even the firmware and bluetooth updates were painless. I sync to Strava and that integration has always worked perfectly. A very nice feature is you can modify the device display screens in the app and they automatically update on the device in real-time. I do not plan on using the navigation feature much but did check out the mapping routes. Mapping routes created in the phone app are OK but you have to manually edit the route after setting the start and destination (a bit tedious in the app). I found the route creation from the account online to be much easier. Either way, once the route is setup you can easily send to the device via the app.

Road Use: On the road the device was easy to use and has a 8 different display mode slots with data fields and graphing. You can enable whichever displays you want to see and use. The up/down buttons allow you to easily switch display mode while riding. As mentioned above, you can easily customize the display fields on any of the displays. The auto pause feature was nice for me as most of my routes do have traffic signals before I get to the back roads. I found that the auto screen dim made the display difficult to read while wearing polarized sun glasses, I just set it to display full backlight all the time. A one hour ride used less than 10% battery so I don't expect that to be an issue.

Final thoughts: I have seen other reviews complain about the manual but I found everything to be fairly intuitive and I barely needed the manual. There are also a bunch of quick start videos on the main website if needed. I did not fully test the navigation feature but the mapping part looked pretty good from the web interface.

Compared to its competitors, this computer is super solid and just as good as Garmin/Wahoo offerings at a fraction of the cost! Does pretty much does everything you'd expect a flagship cycling computer to do. I've used the iGS618 for several years and never had any reliability issues. Upgrading to the iGS630 and the upgrade is definitely worth it. Improved battery life, memory, and much nicer screen, as well some upgrades to GPS tech and ease of use.

Pros:
Nice physical button instead of touch screen
Really good gps accuracy
Ambient light sensor auto adjusts brightness which is nice
Get texts from phone using bluetooth connect
Improved battery life compared to iGS618
Change page layouts from app which is a new feature
Can add routes through the app which is a huge improvement over connecting cable to computer every time
Can set the auto pause speed

Cons:
No strava live segments still :(
Some of the wording is unnatural in the app and the app could use improvements (feels unrefined and Chinese)
Still don't have upcoming elevation graph, only historical
Still has issues with navigation giving a turn instruction when there is no intersection but the road just bends sharpy, and no rerouting feature yet
Slightly difficult process of loading a state map through computer and no mtb trails on maps

I'm going to try something a little different for this review. Instead of doing a comprehensive feature by feature deep dive review this will be Quick Review which will focus on the key features most average road bike riders will need when riding. For a deep dive review, check out the excellent YouTube Videos posted in the iGPSSPORT IGS630 Bike Computer:

Appearance & Overall Fit and Finish
8/10 -
This bike computer has a nice thin design that is visually appealing and ergonomically designed from a button placement perspective which is important since this is not a touchscreen. At first glance it looks like a sleeker, thinner version of the Garmin Edge 1030 PLUS or 1040.

Display Screen
8/10
The large 2.8" Color screen is bright though not as bright as the Garmin. The fonts used are quite sharp and numbers are easy to see and read even with sunglasses on. Overall legibility in bright and dark is lighting conditions is very good. Themes are available for easier day and night visibility. The screen is above average screen resolution and is easy to see in bright sunlight.

Operation & Battery Life
8.5/10
The six buttons are placed around the screen for easy and intuitive access. You can also use the free downloadable Apple or Android App to customize the unit. I found the navigation on both the app and the computer itself to be quite easy to use and to navigate the menus. They followed a logical structure and it was easy to make selections one and two menu levels deep.
For me the critical metrics I need are Time, Speed, Distance, Heart Rate Sensor, Cadence Sensor and the Garmin Varia Radar Sensor Unit support. The IGS630 supports my Garmin Heart Rate Monitor, Wahoo Cadence Sensor and most importantly my Garmin Varia Radar unit. They all paired via ANT+ and Bluetooth (BLE) flawlessly and I had no issues when they reconnected after a pause in my bike rides.Not having the Garmin Varia Radar sensor support would have been a deal breaker for me so Kudos to the IGPSPORT guys for writing the firmware support for this life saving device.
The battery life is excellent. With a claimed battery life of 36 hours, this bike computer has the same battery life as a Garmin Edge 1040. 1 and 1/2 hours with 3 sensors active and the sound notification turned on the remaining battery life fell to 95%.

Ease of Set-Up and Ease of Use
8/10
I was able to figure everything out in about 15 minutes not having to look up anything in the included instruction manual or manuals on their web site. I was up and running in about that time because the menus are easy to read and the button press logic follows virtually the Wahoo Element Bolt and Roam structure almost identical which I consider to be the gold standard for non-touch screen GPS computers. It was very easy to select and modify pages of data as well as customizing the displayed data field and positioning them on the saved page.

Third Party Software Integration - Auto Upload Ride Feature
8/10
I only use Strava and auto upload to Strava was easy to turn on in the menu set up screen. Once it was enabled my completed rides uploaded to my Strava account quickly and effortlessly with no issues at all. Zero glitches. Nada. None.

Value Proposition
10/10
At a sales cost of $219.99 on Amazon this is a pleasant surprise as this computer perfoms on a par with most competing bike computers costing upwards of $649.99 if you are looking at the Garmin Edge 1040 and Edge 1030 Plus for comparison.

I am a seasoned Road bike rider and have used most of the Garmin Edge GPS computers from the low end to the high end. I also used Wahoo Element Roam and the Element Bolt V1 and V2 Bike Computers. I can assure you from personal testing experience that this iGSPORT IGS630 bike computer is one helluva a buy and does perform as advertised. Buy one and you will be pleasantly surprised as to how well it works and how polished the software is. Clearly this is a company that has under-promised and over-delivered with their top of the line bike computer. Especially on the Value Proposition part. The main question now is why pay the Garmin tax when you can handily avoid it by buying the IGS630 Bike Computer? The dollar Savings is real. For the price of the low end Garmin Edge 130 you are getting a bleeding edge bike color with a huge high resolution 2.8" screen and fantastic battery life and performance features built in.

I waited to write a review of this product for until I really had the chance to give it a thorough amount of testing over the last four months. I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. I purchased this unit as a bundle with a rigid mount and rubber case.

The unit ships with a standard handlebar mount, which uses rubber straps to hold the mount to the handlebars. I used that mount a few times, and it was very sturdy and capable. I had no issues with it during either road or trail riding. However, I prefer the rigid mount, as it places the unit in a more natural position for the eyes. The rigid mount is super stable and I have ordered a second one for my other bike.

The unit itself was easy to set up. I downloaded the app on my phone and read the instruction booklet. I also watched a few videos online. Some of the instructions are not the best, but it is pretty easy to figure out how to customize screens with the information you want to see. For example, on my map screen, I have the time, the compass, my speed, and the map. On the grid screen, I have temperature, road grade, total ascent / descent, total distance and elapsed time. There are many screens available for customization, and for most, the default selections will be fine.

The display is very easy to see in even the brightest of sunlight. The buttons are easy to feel for with gloves on, and are easily activated. The letters and numbers are large enough to read and are very crisp. The display is not overly busy and can be glanced at quickly to get exactly the information you want at the moment.

I appreciate many things about this device:
1. A direct link to Strava - I have found starting Strava first, then the IGPSport phone app, then powering on the device is a reliable order for immediate ride syncing after the ride is complete. Give the device a minute or two to sync and then you'll get a message from Strava that your ride is ready to view.
2. Text message and phone call display - When I receive a text message, I can read about the first 40-60 characters right on the unit, with an audible sound and display at the bottom of the screen. Phone calls are also indicated audibly and visually on the device, so I know if it's important to pull over and pick it up or reply to the text message.
3. Map zooming - When approaching a turn, the map will auto zoom, but you can use buttons on the device for manual zooming
4. Downloading routes from Ride With GPS - I do a lot of rides for charities, where they post the route on Ride with GPS. Download the .FIT file and send it to the device, and you get turn-by-turn directions. You can customize how far before each turn you will be notified. It has overall worked very well.
5. Creating custom routes - For custom trips, I can create the route in advance on my computer or phone using the app and then send it to my device.
6. Off Route Indications - When off route (either by accident or on purpose), the unit will audibly indicate you are off-route and then provide red arrows telling you the direction back to the route. the distance to the finish continues to update, which is nice.
7. Trails on the map - I rode some great trail systems in Arizona and Michigan and all of the trails are on the map!
8. Long battery Life - I have ridden over 9 hours at a time on my bike and the battery was still at about 40%. Charging is fast as well.

I just can't say enough good things about this unit. It really rivals other much more significant brands with its capabilities. I would very highly recommend it!

This is my 3-month evaluation. I got mine on Amazon for $180 incl tax.

Caveats: I'm 67 yrs and ride to build endurance following covid Pneumonia in 2022 which wiped me out. I use the same routes and don't need navigation; I ride solo and not competitively; I have no interest in cycling social apps. I have an HRM, power meter with cadence, & speed sensor. My bike is my long-term rehabilitation program.

Setting up your devices is a snap. Once you're connected that's it. I have SRAM eTap AXS mullet drivetrain and my iGS630 displays my current gear, which is helpful for a rider in So CA who still doesn't have the legs for climbing.

Setting up custom screens is a bit more tedious but worth the effort. You can configure it to provide as little or as much data as you need. I think you can have 5 or 6 configurable screens, but I use 2.

This computer is very reliable and easy to read while riding. A big plus is the screen is great under bright sun with virtually no glare. It's possible to scroll all the screens while riding and then it will display the default screen you select, but with the app there is little point to using more than one or two.

One would think the built-in GPS would be adequate, but I already have a speed sensor on my front wheel anyway so why not pair it with the iGS630; I think the combination of GPS and speed sensor allowed it to suggest a correction to my tire circumference, refining the accuracy of speed/distance data.

Make sure you remember to save your ride and then synch with your phone. I have a Strava subscription because I like analyzing my rides and incremental improvement. You can synch to 3rd part apps like Strava, but I don't use Strava anymore. The phone app has good analysis screens for everything I need: Power, Cadence, HRM, elevation/grade changes, speed, etc. and a bunch more to boot.

I looked at every cycling computer on the market: Many are packed full of features and more expensive. I've also used several free apps on my phone. The modestly priced iGS630 with an excellent array of features for data collection and usability makes it hard to beat.
