Magene C606 V2 Bike Computer GPS – 2.8" Color Touchscreen, Multi-Scenario ClimbPro, Live Segments, Cycling Dynamics, Offline Navigation & 15-25Hr Battery

For the price I am pleased and pleasantly surprised with this head unit, battery life is great. I did back to back 7+ hour rides without charging and the battery held up. The touch screen works well even in the rain. I would recommend this head unit after using it for over a year over 10000 miles on it.

Replaced my older Garmin and took a chance. Screen is amazing, works great, and really a game changer to bike gps. Reminds me of hammerhead Karoo entering the market. Feels VERY premium compared to others, seriously. Touch works great, pairs easily. I don’t write many reviews but can’t recommend this enough. Easily beats any other gps under 350$, a contender against Garmin 840, Hammerhead Karoo 2, and Roam v2. For price, this is a no brainer and Magene could easily charge double the price. 10/10

I have not yet used it on a ride, but the main purpose for buying this was so I could have directions while doing a double century. When I tried to upload the GPX file I received an error saying that the route was too long (not that the file size was too big, the route was over 300km). The only thing I needed it for, it won’t do Update: they have since updated the firmware and the device now functions correctly. Some other notes - since buying I used the device on a 200 mile ride and it worked great, the battery life was good, the visibility in the sun was great, the GPS worked fine with the map split into two at the time and now that I don’t need to split it, it should do everything I need.

I bought this computer out of sheer curiosity as I'm returning to road cycling and have been testing a lot of the direct to consumer brands instead of paying premium prices for the big names. I've used Garmin devices in the past and am currently using a Stages M200. I connect and ride with a Stages power meter, Coros HR monitor, Garmin Varia rear radar, and smart phone connected for notifications. Build: 10/10. It's a premium feeling product on par with any other device on the market. Mounting it feels more solid than my current computer, and it looks great on the bike. While I don't care for logos, the top Magene logo on the screen is very subtle. Screen: 8/10. While the color and data field layouts are wonderful, I wish it was a bit more contrasty in brighter light. The ambient light auto sensor seems to keep the screen just a hint to dark, but it's 100% functional and I'm likely just being nit picky. Radar Integration 8/10: It functions, but I wish it was a bit more developed like the Wahoo and Stages computers. I really like how those units display a green/yellow/red bar on the edge of the display when cars are present. This unit only displays a lit chevron for each car (yellow further away, red for closer). They don't differentiate for car speed like other units, and the only work around is setting a data box for radar which gives a numerical distance of the car behind you. I use, it's a hint laggy and usually displays 14-16 (feet?) when the car is passing, so while you can use it to determine vehicle speed, it requires a rides to spend more time looking at the screen versus simply looking at the color of the car indicator on Wahoo or Stages computers. That all said, it's spot on and hasn't missed any vehicles. Ease of Use: 10/10. The touch screen is a breeze to use, and the user interface just makes sense. The app works perfectly fine for setup/adjustments, and I've had no problems with adjustments or use while riding. All paired devices paired seamlessly, and do so each time I turn on the computer for new ride. Navigation (untested): I live in an area where I know all the roads and routes I'm going to ride, so I don't use navigation on a day to day basis. I've briefly used the functions and don't see any issues. I've read other reviews where people have trouble loading maps, but have found fixes with new updates or Magene customer service. Battery 9/10: With connected sensors and screen brightness on a fixed 60%, I loose about 6% battery per one ridden. Temps here have been in the 50-60F range. So it seems to be on par or just a hint less than advertised. Wish list: Screen with a hint more contrast, ability to display temperature as a data field, more developed radar integration. But for a fraction of the price of the competition, it's a no brainer. I tend to upgrade computers every few years, and I see no reason why this won't last like my other units. For the weekend warrior or recreational rider, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

Great computer. Love the color touch screen.

The cycle computer is very well made, with the right size, easy-to-use buttons, and a very intuitive touch screen. The battery is long-lasting, and it works very well with the cadence, speed, frequency, and potentiometer sensors. Easy to link. The reports are also very graphic through the application that you download to your PC or cell phone. Cost-benefit winner 100% recommended

El producto es muy bueno. No será un Garmin, pero no tiene nada que envidiarle. Para mí cumplió las expectativas. Muy buen producto. Lo recomiendo.

Electronics have worked well thus far (2 months) but if you need them for any support don't count on it being the least bit useful. Magene considers two .png files as a 'detailed' support response. Their iPhone app is a complete trainwreck, nothing about their systems make any sense. I don't have a garmin so I am not comparing the C606 to a garmin, what I am saying is that the computer works, as it should, but their support and software is simply atrocious. I would not recommend this device because the company's support, software and documentation is poor. UPDATE: I've been using this computer for almost a year. Yesterday in the middle of a route, the only route on the computer, the computer just dropped about 20 miles from the course total. It went from 59.95 miles at the beginning to about 20 in and hour or so (I was riding in hilly terrain so not staring at the computer. the best I can recall it was about an hour or so). I am out in the middle of unfamiliar country, no idea how to get back so I just let it guide me to the finish, which it seemed to know its location. Sure enough after a bit over 37 miles I am back at the ride start. So instead of 59.95 I ended up doing 37? There is still only one route on the computer, it shows 59.95 miles. I give up on this thing, its going in the trash where it belongs.

Pas encore essayé sur la route, réglages simples, bonne connexion, très bon rapport qualité prix!!!

Un dispositivo sumamente bueno, no tiene nada que pedirles a los de gama alta, lo tengo funcionando en mis dos bicis y no tengo quejas.

Ottimo prodotto, solo un po' più di luminosità al display. Ha tutte le funzioni descritte dal produttore. Possibilità di impostare le videate a piacimento, e se non si è professionisti di bike non credo si arriverà mai ad usare tutte le funzionalità. Ben fatto, robusto, touch sensibile al tocco come un tablet, scorrevole nei movimenti e grafica a colori. Se si traccia un percorso con l'app non riconosce alcune ciclabili o percorsi fuoristrada. Credo che con un semplice aggiornamento si possa risolvere il problema. Su strada invece nessuno problema di tracciamento. Inoltre non sarebbe male avere la possibilità di inserire punti progressivi illimitati, soprattutto per percorsi con molti cambi di direzione. La carica mantiene le tempistiche indicate dal produttore. Ottima la funzione radar ben integrata nel monitor a lato sx con segnale acustico e grafico. Molto precisa nel segnalare. Viene fornito un laccetto e un vetro protettivo da applicare sul C606. Ben fatta la mappa a colori, scaricabile gratuitamente dal C606 tramite wifi. Supporta sensori di velocità e cadenza oltre cardio sia bluetooth che Ant. Come detto all'inizio, con l'utilizzo della mappa in caso di forte sole, non si vedono bene i tracciati secondari di per sé più sottili. Speriamo in un aggiornamento che migliori la situazione. Nel complesso un prodotto completo, robusto e dalle svariate funzionalità come nei più blasonati marchi presenti sul mercato.

I took a chance on this havoing got fed up with the battery life on my Hammerhead Karoo 2. I don't miss it at all. The battery life is excellent, I had no issues with pairing sensors and it's great to be able to link Di2 which isn't supported by Karoo. The displays are great and I have found navigation very good, yes you can't automatically synch from strava routes but is it really so hard to upload a gpx file? This has worked fine for me. Fits nicely on existing Garmin mounts and is a nice size. Also good to have WiFi connectivity back again. It doesn't do strava live segments but that's about the only difference I've noticed. Really very pleased and at the price you'd have to really, really want a garmin/wahoo/hammerhead etc to not buy this.

Lo poco que he podido probarlo no tiene nada que envidiar a los alta gama de GPS. He probado a meterle rutas de Strava y te guía a la perfección, cabe destacar que he tenido dos problemas cuando la ruta va y vuelve por el mismo trazado, se vuelve algo loco, seguro que con una actualización se corrige. Es configurable a mas no poder las pantallas de datos. Con la nueva actualización se incorpora clima-pro y los segmentos Strava los cuales te dice que tal vas cuando entras en un segmento, puedes ver si vas por delante o vas más lento que el KOM y si lo prefieres comparar con tu mejor marca. Pd: con el wifi tuve algún quebradero de cabeza ya que no me detectaba el wifi de 2.4 y era porque solo ve los canales comprendidos entre 1-9, con cambiarlos en el router solucionado.
