Pros & Cons
Pros
It's easy to install and durable. I love that the chain came lightly lubed and ready for installation. Easy to install, great value.
Sram pro link quick connector uses a different connecting procedure and mechanism. A combination of these two steps frees the pins to allow free motion at that pin. Sram * link is also very easy to master.
Purchased two chains and installed one on a trek fx2. Usually ride 70-80 miles/week and have ridden about 250 miles with the new chain. I guesstimate i get 1200-2000 miles on them.
Their ends raise upwards a bit instead of having recessed portions. They shift flawlessly, they don't rust, and little stretch. Lekkie 42 tooth sprocket.
Cons
I get about 500 miles on this chain till it starts slipping on the cogs, and with new cogs that went on at the same time.
Highlights

Will post back with the life on the third chain next year.
Price
Installed easily and the price was right.
Very good chain and at a good price
Packaging/appearance
Was easy to install and no more loud chain noise
Competitiveness
I bought this when i did a mid drive e-conversion on a hybrid bike with a bafang 750w motor.
They do tend to run a little louder than shimano chains that i have used.
I have one more pc830 to use up before i try a kmc x8.

While the chain is billed as 678 it may be short on a 29” bike

I installed the chain on my 29’er and it was two links short

Had to splice in a pair of links from my old chain which is a less than ideal solution
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
In fairness i didn’t know how many links were in my old chain and knowing the proper chain size in of links would have prevented that
