I wonder if it would sync up with Wheeltop EDS OX and TX electric derailleurs.

Certainly interesting, I've been on the 630 for a month and very happy with it, I consider it a straight upgrade in every way to the garmin 530 (except maybe the third party integrations but the app really isn't that bad). I trust them to beat the 1040 but magene is about to drop their own touchscreen computer for $160 so I would have hoped it was a little cheaper than $350.
I can't remember the last time I was excited for a western release, but between TPU tubes, DTSwiss clone hubs, hydraulic and then electronic groupsets and higher end bike computers, I feel spoiled.

I wonder if it would sync up with Wheeltop EDS OX and TX electric derailleurs.

They sync with LTWOO eRX already, no doubt they would sync with wheeltop

Chris Fromme also has to be paid, he is an ambassador.

Thanks for the links ! There are plenty other clips on the web site: https://search.bilibili.com/all?keyword=igs800&search_source=1
Just for the eyes as nothing is in English.
My Karoo is getting warm again when charging, and will probably die again soon.
I did start to look around for a change, and this is falling just in time...

Magene touchscreen c606 is already out but they made a big mistake in only giving it 4gb of storage. A seemingly terrific device severely hobbled by a very simple mistake. And you can't tell me that was a cost cutting thing either, memory is dirt cheap, would cost less than a dollar per unit to give it 32gb

They have eds integration on 630 already and they list it in the promo vid for this one

I have 2 iGS630s.  I went into the sensor detection screen (Shifter) and tried for about 1/2 an hour to try to get my 630 to link/recognize/do something.  All it did was non stop "Searching"   I tried on 3 different EDS derailleurs and the 630 didn't find any of the derailleurs.

I turned on my Wheeltop app and linked to the derailleurs hoping the 630 might pair with the phone or derailleur.
I opened my iGS630 app on my phone to see if there was anything in the app I could use to link/find my EDS derailleurs. (Nothing.)

Edit:  I do not see EDS/Wheeltop listed in the advanced features for the iGS630. 
Edit 3/26/24   This is what IGSport wrote me when I asked if the 630 works with EDS:

Thank you for writing to us.
 
The compatibility with Wheeltop EDS OX  and TX is decided by the functionality of both devices.
To confirm the compatibility with the shifter, please search from the bike computers directly.
They will be not compatible if the shifter can't be searched by the bike computer.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
 
Best Regards,
 Customer Service Team

(Since my 630 searched without finding the EDS derailleur, I take it that it does not support the Wheeltop EDS derailleur, and I doubt the new 800 supports EDS either.)

Thoughts?

Pricey for my budget.  I'll stick with my iGP630 for a while.

It's a bit sad that they don't focus on one product they could surely deliver something good. Having a few really solid features rather than being all over the place.. Everyone say the same that the IGS800 stuff are lacking in almost every feature implementation. Feels like a product that is not ready and will never be ready. Who wants to pay 300+ for that ?
I still use my garmin edge 520 and garmin add features to it so long after the release..

I just ordered one. I’ve been a longtime user of the 620. I’ve enjoyed that model until this point but ‘Ive wanted something that was a tad bigger. I like the idea of rerouting and the iclimb feature. Should be here tomorrow and I’ll update as soon as I get a few hundred miles on it!

the igs630 got rerouting, had iclimb pro and segments beta is available too. I haven't installed the update yet, so I'm not sure if it really can reroute.
I don't really understand how it will work, but the functionality seems to be the same.

As I understand it the IGS630 is not getting a firmware upgrade for rerouting. It's a new device called IGS630S that just has a couple changes including rerouting, with a higher MSRP
Personally happy with the 630 overall except for mapping, it sometimes gets confused following a route, and I've had the device completely crash and reboot mid-ride once (not saved in the storage). Still ordered a magene C606 to compare because on paper it looks awesome if it can load 2 regions worth of maps

I just connected the IGS800 to the Wheeltop EDS TX pretty easily.  Only thing is the ways the gears are listed is backwards (same as the app).

my bad, I use the igs630s... I installed the firmware update, but it didn't say anything about rerouting.
Segments u need to add manually to routes it seems.

the c606 doesn't support as many components... my wife can use the igs630s to commute with her e bike.

I am irritated with my iGS630 computer.   I tried to use the 2nd iGS630 I purchased in the route navigation mode, using an uploaded GXP file for my latest multi-day ride.   Using this model to navigate really consumes the battery!  The longest the battery ever lasted was 8 hours until it hit 15% battery live and went into power saving mode. (This added at most another 1.5 hours of riding before it would power off.) - I was riding about 10 hours a day.

Has anyone battery-life tested the new iGS800 or the iGS630S when they are being used in the navigation mode?

I am very disappointed with the battery life of the iGS630.  I need a computer that will last at least 48 hours of operation between charges.

I still get over 25 hours of battery life with a GPX file and 3 sensors paired. You might have a faulty unit

I've been riding with the 800 for a month now, always in nav mode with heart and power sensors connected. The battery life is excellent, even after full-day rides, it's still around 80% or more. The screen is visible during the day without needing the backlight. However, I'm not sure about 48h, unlike some Garmin models, it doesn't have the feature where the screen turns off and only lights up when a turn is coming
