The Sigma ROX 12.0 Sport GPS bike computer is on the market since mid 2018. It is the leading model of Sigma. The position is determined by GPS and GLONASS.
The color touch screen has 3 inche. When wet, the touch screen is automatically blocked to prevent malfunction. For operation there are alternatively six buttons available.
The battery lasts according to the manufacturer for up to 16 hours.

Routing

My evaluation
My first bike computer was a Sigma ROX 9, still without GPS. Already at that time, the accompanying software inspired me. The GPS-enabled software of the Sigma ROX 12.0 Sport also makes an excellent impression. It looks thoughtful and logical.
Sigma has finally launched a competitive GPS bike computer. Compared to the competition, it is priced at the top end.
The connection to the smartphone is standard in the competition. This is missing from Sigma.
