Anyone own this, any feedback?

What's the difference between these two? Trying to find a reliable seller with best price...

They're all about the same. I would suggest paying a little more and buy locally with warranty.

I've seen alot of these die well under a year, and to deal with warranty and the money to send it back it's not worth it. Might as well pay a little more and have an exchange warranty.

I have these ones available for $100 if you're interested

AliExpress has it for basically the same price and no warranty

Out of 4, 3 are still working well. The one that turns off on its own occasionally didn't do that until after I spent a week in the interior where it dropped close to or below -30 degrees at night. Not sure if it's a coincidence or not. I've had them for almost two years

Shopping for a cheap dash cam myself as well to put in the S since both cars insured.
Picking this up from BlackBoxMyCar tomorrow. 1 year warranty, will keep you guys posted on quality!

For $96 at NCIX, I guess i will give it a try. Wonder if blackboxmycar will do any price match.

I got a GT680W for a heck of a deal and it's been good so far. Worth looking into if you can get one.

At the time, I ordered mine from banggood for about $46. Couldn't tell you if they are real but they work fine enough except for that one

I've had the g1wh for about a year. Still works great.
My only complaints are:
- unit doesn't turn on in cold weather
- the cam falls off the mount during some right turns.

I picked up the rear view mirror mounts for them right away for a couple bucks each and they haven't fallen once. Seemed to be a tighter fit than the suction cup it comes with, plus the mount itself can't fall off. Try it out if it fits your car
