Yay! Fellow iGS630 user, there are literally DOZENS of us!

I'm really liking them, I started being more serious about training rather than just winging it (in my 40's, want to stay fit for as long as possible).

Their accuracy seems good, I've got the bike on the Kickr now and the numbers from that and the pedals agree with each other. Fitting them is super quick if you have some knowledge of bike maintenance and the required tools (a torque wrench is a must). I didn't get the chainrings, just the power meter and cranks as if felt silly not to just reuse my 105 R7100 rings. I use the DC Rainmaker analyser to view the data, which is easy with the iGS630 as I export the file via airdrop and then upload it.

As for other Chinese cycling brands, Magene and iGSPort are the only two I've used products from, and both have been solid, especially for the price - but there are some great YouTubers who cover the market, such as China Cycling (who also runs the Panda Podium store) and Luke from Trace Velo who's done deep dives on the electronic groupsets from LTwoo and the like.

Chinese bike parts manufacturers are really knocking it out of the park at the moment quality wise - it wasn't long ago that "Cheap Chinese Carbon Fibre" was a pejorative term.
