Cons
- Screen appears a little dark/washed out with a tinge of brown under bright lights
- Initial time zone setup required manual input rather than being automatic
- Battery life claim of 50 hours is ambiguous and likely refers to power save mode, not standard use
- The reviewer expresses general concern about 'user friction' with non-Garmin/Wahoo/Hammerhead units, implying the iGS800 will be judged against this high bar
- Mentions that competing with Garmin's full ecosystem (Connect app, fitness tracking, etc.) is a 'very tough task'
- Notes that lower-end computers often lack features like zero-touch route importing, cloud backup/restore, and detailed bike-specific maps, setting a context of potential shortcomings to be tested
