iGPSPORT BSC300 Review – Design and Functionality
The BSC300 is a compact bike computer with a full laminated screen. Its ultra-thin and lightweight body features a full laminated colour display. iGPSPORT added a faux carbon fibre finish on its bezels to add flair to the bike computer.
We love the sleek appearance of this product. Its bevelled edges combined with matte and glossy finishes offer a premium look.
The underside of the bike computer features a Garmin mount that is mounted directly into the base. Two protruding tabs lock the bike computer into place on a corresponding mount. You can attach it using the simple handlebar mount with two rubber straps in the package.
A broad rubber gasket under the mount covers the USB-C charging port to prevent water or dirt from entering.
The BSC300 has six raised buttons, offering a premium feel and satisfying clicks. We noticed these are also easy to find and press while testing for this iGPSPORT BSC300 Review.

You also do not need to do long holds when accessing secondary features, making it highly convenient. This feature made us enjoy its ease of use during our product tests for this iGPSPORT BSC300 Review.
The power button is on the top left corner of the BSC300, labelled with a red outline for easy identification. At the bottom, the BSC300 has two buttons for the lap feature or to start/pause a recording.
